Studies of the SVC have been plagued by the annoying fact that the interpretations of SVCs are apparently so diverse as to defy a unified semantic account of serialization. Thus, in most studies, the apparent heterogeneity of the interpretations of SVCs has led to fragmentation of serialization into a variety of subtypes, merely in terms of stereotypical examples, with no provision to capture the underling unity of the subtypes. This paper, along with Jo (1993), argues against such fragmentation and provides a unified semantic analysis of serialization. The sense of inseparable connection between the events serialized is attributed to the counterfactual dependency between them. And the variety of meaning dependencies of the SVC are accommodated as particular instances of the counterfactual dependency, arising from the interaction between the unique underspecified semantics of serialization and the semantic and pragmatic aspects of the events serialized. This analysis, in line with the selective generation analysis of lexical polysemy, provides a principled account for the time-honored native speakers’ intuition that SVCs express a single, perhaps complex, event rather than a series of distinct events.
