In this work I provide novel evidence for an articulated VP structure by examining facts of adverbial modification in Hungarian. In line with prior works such as Borer (2005) and Jung and Choi (2023), I will argue for the dissociation of inner aspect from result states, but also propose that inner aspect be syntactically instantiated, whereas result states are only a semantic/pragmatic effect. I focus on the distribution and interpretive prop-erties of resultative and measure adverbs to support these claims. I also show that result states can be directly encoded by verbal, prepositional and resultative adverbial elements alike, contra the previous claim that resultative adverbs only modify result states (Geuder 2000).
