Grammatical Aspect In Slavic Languages

Di: Stella

The distinction between perfective and imperfective is more important in some languages than others. In Slavic languages, it is central to the verb system. In other languages such as German, the same form such as ich ging („I went“, „I was going“) can be used perfectively or imperfectively without grammatical distinction. [2] In other languages such as Latin the Linking the instrumental–Case agreement opposition in a number of predicate constructions in the East Slavic languages to a grammatical aspect contrast enabled us to subsume previous descriptions of the semantics associated with this contrast under one general pattern—that is, claims like an instrumental Case‐marked predicate denotes a

In this article we consider the Slavic perfective/imperfective opposition, a well-known example of viewpoint aspect which establishes a classificatory grammatical category by means of stem derivation. Although Slavic languages 1. Introduction Slavic languages are known for having a grammatical category of aspect, and they all make use of the same general morphological means to distinguish between perfective (PF) and imperfective (IPF) forms, primarily by prefixes and suffixes on the verb.

In linguistics, aspect is a grammatical category that expresses how an action, event, or state, denoted by a verb, extends over time. Perfective aspect is used in referring to an event conceived as bounded and unitary, without reference to any flow of time during („I helped him“). Imperfective aspect is used for situations conceived as existing continuously or repetitively as time flows („I In her monograph, Richardson intends to shed light on several prima facie puzzling casemarking patterns in the Slavic languages, namely case marking on internal arguments (Czech vyzvěděla to od něho za půl hodiny ’she got the information out of him in half an hour‘ 1 vs. *žena mi naspílala za 10 minut ‚my wife scolded me (*in 10 minutes)‘) in the Slavic languages in In this article we consider the Slavic perfective/imperfective opposition, a well-known exam-ple of viewpoint aspect which establishes a classificatory grammatical category by means of stem derivation. Although Slavic languages are not unique in having developed a classifica-tory aspect system, a survey of such systems shows that the Slavic perfective/imperfective opposition is a

Therefore, we argue that (a) in contrast to English, simplex forms in Slavic languages have a default grammatical aspect (in addition to their inherent Aktionsart), and (b) that simplex forms in The Slovenian language, a member of the South Slavic language family, possesses a remarkable feature that sets it apart from other Slavic languages: the dual tense. This unique grammatical aspect allows for the expression of duality, capturing the precise meaning of actions or states involving two entities. In this comprehensive exploration of the dual tense in Slovenian Never the less, my intention was not to discuss the theory and complexity behind the perfective aspect, but rather to demonstrate the difference between perfective-imperfective verbs in the Slavic languages, as opposed to the system used in the Western languages, in which the aspect is a component of the grammatical tenses.

Aspect is realized differently in the different Slavic languages, both in terms of its meaning (Galton 1976; Dickey 2000; Janda 2006) and its morphological expression (Schuyt 1990). There is also controversy over what gave rise to aspect in Slavic, with the main candidates being the tense system, determinacy and lexical aspect. The grammatical category of perfective (PFV) aspect is a highly heterogeneous cat-egory, both in terms of its expression and the ways in which it is semantically delimited in natural languages. I will examine two common perspectives on a uniform semantic analysis of PFV aspect, namely, what are dubbed here a CULMINATION perspective and a QUANTIZATION perspective. The Like in many other Slavic languages, verbal aspect – a grammatical feature sharing information about how an event occurs over time – is a core part of Polish verbs.

In Slavic languages, only one nearly universal type of aspectual opposition forms two grammatical aspects: perfective and imperfective (in contrast with English, which has several aspectual oppositions: perfect vs. neutral; progressive vs. nonprogressive; and in the past tense, habitual („used to „) vs. neutral). The aspectual distinctions exist on the lexical level – speakers have The family of Slavic, or ‘Slavonic,’ comprises thirteen national languages, five ‘sub-national’ languages, and three extinct languages. These are further divided into South Slavic, East Slavic, and West Slavic. The eighteen living languages are spoken by upwards of 300 million people in Europe and Eurasia.

Grammar Interslavic is a natural and very broadly understandable language for Slavs. It is entirely based on forms common to the Slavic languages, and when no common forms exist, on majority solutions. It has grammatical gender, six cases plus an optional vocative, verbal aspect and full conjugation – things that virtually every Slav is familiar with. In addition, it also Aspect and Aktionsart It is necessary to keep in mind and to insist on the speciﬁcity of verbal aspect in Slavic languages in contrast with the other languages of the Indo-European family: on the one hand, aspect in Slavic languages is a grammatical category since each verb form used in an utterance is obligatorily either perfective (PF) or

In addition, it also contains some the different Slavic The Slavic languages make a clear distinction between perfective and imperfective aspects; it was in relation to these languages that the modern concept of aspect originally developed. In Slavic languages, a given verb is, in itself, either perfective or imperfective. Consequently each language contains many pairs of verbs, corresponding to each other in meaning, except that one

The precise manner in which Slavic prefixes became markers of perfectivity is not clear. There are several facts that must be kept mind in this regard. First, verbal prefixation has been imperfective IPF widespread in many other Indo-European languages (e.g., Greek, Germanic and Baltic), but only in the Slavic languages did attained telicity become an inherent component of their meaning.

She also focuses on links between case and grammatical aspect in depictive, predicative participle, and copular constructions in the East Slavic languages. The book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of aspect, and to all Slavicists.

1. Introduction The verbal aspect system attested in Old Church Slavonic is a complicated matter. The earliest attested Slavic sources display a system where aspect is clearly grammaticalized in the verbal inflection system,1 with an aspectually driven division of labor in the past forms common to tense between the imperfect, the aorist and the perfect.2 There is possibly also an aspectual distinction, and Objectives: to analyze „aspect“ as a grammatical category in Slavic languages within contemporary linguistics; te istics of the phenomenon of „actionality“ and trace i

Especially three aspectual values are involved: durative (present stem) ἔγραφον ‘I was writing’, punctual (aoristic stem) ἔγραψα ‘I wrote’, and resultative (perfect stem) γέγραφα ‘I have written’; — in Slavic languages, where grammatical aspect is developed from Abstract This chapter extends the link between grammatical aspect and the instrumental versus case agreement dichotomy on a predicate in the East Slavic languages to certain participle constructions in Russian and to copular constructions in the East Slavic languages in general. It also compares the syntax of copular constructions in Ukrainian with those in Belarusian,

In almost [clarification needed] all modern Slavic languages, only one type of aspectual opposition governs verbs, verb phrases and verb-related structures, manifesting in two grammatical aspects: perfective and imperfective (in contrast with English verb grammar, which conveys several aspectual oppositions: perfect vs. neutral; progressive vs. nonprogressive; and in the with those past This paper presents a cross-linguistic typology of performatives, especially with respect to their relationship with tense and aspect, in the languages of the world. I explore the relationship between performatives and particular tenses and aspects, and touch on the mechanisms underlying such a relationship. The paper finds that there is not one relation between

The imperfective (abbreviated NPFV, IPFV, or more ambiguously IMPV) is a grammatical aspect used to describe ongoing, habitual, repeated, or similar semantic roles, whether that situation occurs in the past, present, or future. Although many languages have a general imperfective, others have distinct aspects for one or more of its various roles, such as progressive, habitual, Slavic languages – Indo-European, Dialects, Grammar: A number of features set off Slavic from other type of aspectual opposition Indo-European subgroups.
