{"product_id":"building-up-aspect-von-maria-stambolieva","title":"Building Up Aspect","description":"This book addresses the problems of the nature of the category of aspect, its formal expression and its relation to Action modes, to the Aorist\/Imperfect and Perfect\/Non-Perfect distinctions. The discussion is largely based on data from Bulgarian – a Slavonic language where aspect as a grammatical category systematically coexists not only with verbal prefixation, but also with temporal boundedness, correlation and, in the nominal sphere, definiteness. Cross-language parallels with English and French data and the mapping of Bulgarian structures to notions drawn from the «western» tradition of aspectual study result in the outline of a framework for an integrated study of the expression of aspectuality in languages belonging to different language groups. Refuting existing views of aspect as a «compensatory» phenomenon for nominal definiteness, the book presents arguments in favour of a systematic relation between verbal prefixation and NP quantification in Slavonic languages and of a compositional, syntactic dimension of aspectual analysis.\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783039105588\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA study of aspect and related categories in Bulgarian, with parallels in English and French\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783039105588","offer_id":53751342334277,"sku":"9783039105588","price":66.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/36a68d81-f052-4770-b999-431b7a2c7843.jpg?v=1780805486","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/building-up-aspect-von-maria-stambolieva","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
