• The Perfect introduces a time interval: the “perfect time span” (PTS). • The Right Boundary (RB) of the PTS is set by Tense. • The Left Boundary (LB) of the PTS may be set by “perfect adverbials”. • The lower predicate (event) is predicated of the PTS, either directly or mediated by various devices, most notably operators associated with the Perfective or Imperfective. • When the predicate ha...

This work addresses the complexities involved in aspectual composition by presenting a cognitively motivated analysis that makes use of active event representations. Verbs, arguments and temporal modiiers are characterized in terms of the conceptual features they impose or contribute to this framework, which employs representations of both motor-schematic and image-schematic change. By accommod...

The relationship between future time and tense forms in Russian is complex. traditionally attributed to the certain cases do not refer time. Those have been previously presented as an inventory representing a plausible cognitive model and/or sphere of modality. In this article, we suggest data-driven approach applied spectrum meanings forms. We analyzed corpus data discovered that 44% perfectiv...

In this paper, we demonstrate our tool Aspect-jEdit that supports the editing of inline aspects. Inline Aspects identify a new aspect oriented notation, which supports the editing of aspects in their context with the help of hyperplane visualization. Aspect-jEdit uses the concepts of aspect folding in order to depict all possible aspect hyperplanes.
