Aspectual Issues

Aspectual Issues Synopsis

This collection explains Henk J. Verkuyl's theory on time and quantity presented in his 1993 volume, A Theory of Aspectuality. The selected works presented in this follow-up volume explore the consequences of this theory for a number of areas.

In particular, Verkuyl addresses issues in the following areas:

• habituality
• the interaction between tense and aspectuality
• the role of temporal Path structure in distributive and collective quantification
• and the differences and correspondences in the ways in which Slavic, Germanic and Romance languages express aspectuality
