Project

The aspectual contribution of object-arguments to lexical aspect.

In earlier investigation, a threefold aspectual distinction was proposed in the lexical domain as an alternative for the traditional bipartite (domain neutral) division. In this project, we extend the analysis and have a closer look at the aspectual role of direct object arguments. It will be investigated whether a threefold distinction in the nominal domain is a welcome alternative tosome problems which appear for the traditional bipartite distinction.
