verb Classes AND Aspectual IntroductionThis book is about lexical aspect. Aspect traditionally concerns itself with whatComrie (1976) calls different ways of viewing the internal temporal constitu-ency of a situation (pp. 3, 5). The intuition behind this definition is that whiletense relates the temporal location of a situation or eventuality to some othertemporal reference point such as the time of utterance, aspect is concerned withthe structural properties of the event itself. Within the study of aspect, linguistsmake a distinction between grammatical and lexical aspect. Some people takethis to be a formal distinction between Aspectual properties expressed by agrammatical category and/or characterized by a particular inflectional morpho-logy (for example the French imparfait or the pass simple), and aspectualdistinctions which are lexicalized or characterized by derivational morphologyor which are not characterized morphologically at all.
