Can なっている represent an ongoing change as well as a resultant (completed) change? From reading a bunch, I've been under the vague impression that `[adverb]+` can be interpreted both progressively and resultatively; according to this chat log, since it _can_ take time, it is a durative verb, not punctual. But I'm not sure. Some examples that are confusing me: > ① > ② > ③ X Perhaps, the verb in ② and ③ is punctual, while it's durative in ①. Could someone answer if can have a resultative interpretation? * * * **** > ① > ② > ③ X ②③①

Rarely, yes.

in your examples are all punctual usage and these represent a resutative aspect.

① (The weather) has become already dark.

② (He/She) has become a doctor.

③ XThis unit is in X's command.

However, durative usage is possible when the subject is plural or collective, because collection of punctual actions that occur gradually can be regarded as a durative action.

e.g. The atmosphere is getting / has become dark here and there

Perhaps is better for "is getting".
