What role does linguistic aspect play in this process? To provide answers to these questions, we conducted an experiment on aspectual framing. In our task, people were asked to view videotaped vehicular accidents and to describe what happened (perfective framing) or what was happening (imperfective framing). Our analyses of speech and gesture in retellings show that the form of aspect used in the question differentially influenced the way people conceptualized and described actions. Questions framed with imperfective aspect resulted in more moBenjamins current topics ;Volume 67.Cognitive grammarData processingCongressesSemanticsData processingCongressesCognitive grammarData processingSemanticsData processing415Gisborne Nikolas1966-Hollmann WillemSocietas Linguistica Europaea.Meeting(43rd :2010 :Vilnius, Lithuania)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807874603321Theory and data in cognitive linguistics4060229UNINA
