A fact from Zeno Vendler appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 November 2008, and was viewed approximately 194 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Zeno Vendler's model of lexical aspect, first proposed in 1959, is still widely used in multiple areas of linguistic research today?

As you can see, most of the sources we have right now in this article are obits (and obits written by Vendler's former colleagues or other people who had great respect for him), which are probably not the most neutral of sources out there. It's not a problem per se, but it would be nice to get other sources in as well, so if you have anything more that talks about Vendler's influence (for example, a survey-level article, or a book introduction or something like that) it would be greatly appreciated. —Politizertalk/contribs 02:21, 13 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
