Delimitative and semelfactive meanings
Recognise bounded perfectives that do not mean neutral completion.
Поговорить can mean talk for a while; крикнуть can present one cry; постоять can mean stand for a while. The shared idea is boundedness, not necessarily an external result.
- Delimitative: a limited stretch of activity.
- Semelfactive: one occurrence.
- Perfective is broader than achievement.
