The papers are all informed by the belief that a thorough exposure to the expression of aspect crosslinguistically is crucial for progress in understanding how the semantics of aspect works and what the semantic basis of aspectual distinctions is. The languages discussed include Russian, English, Dutch, Hebrew, Mandarin, Japanese and Kalaallisut. The issues discussed in this volume include the centrality of measuring and counting in an understanding of telicity; the importance of the singular/plural distinction in the study of aspect; the importance of homogeneity as a property of event types; the flexibility of lexical classes; and the interaction between expressions of aspect and the particular morphosyntactic structure of a language.Linguistik aktuell ;Bd. 110.Grammar, Comparative and generalAspectSemanticsTypology (Linguistics)Grammar, Comparative and generalAspect.Semantics.Typology (Linguistics)415/.63Rothstein Susan Deborah1627847MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823903703321Theoretical and crosslinguistic approaches to the semantics of aspect3964621UNINA
