In Danish aspectual differences are expressed by certain verbal constructions. Such aspectual constructions have not received much attention in the Danish literature, but cf. Diderichsen (1946, p. 156), Hansen (1967, vol. 3, pp. 30–31), Jensen (1985, p. 113), Brandt (1992) and Jørgensen (2001). (1) is an example of such an aspectual construction which is used to express imperfective aspect, and...

This paper describes an approach to extract the aspectual information of Japanese verb phrases from a monolingual corpus. We classify Verbs into six categories by means of the aspectual features which are defined on the basis of the possibility of co-occurrence with aspectual forms and adverbs. A unique category could be identified for 96% of the target verbs. To evaluate the result of the expe...

It has traditionally been assumed that the meaning of some or all phrasal idioms is noncompositional. However, I will argue here that the aspectual meaning of idioms is completely systematic: there are no special aspectual restrictions on idioms, and moreover, the aspectual properties of an idiom are compositional, combining the aspectual properties of its syntactic constituents in the usual wa...

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) controls tangling of concerns by isolating aspects that cross-cut each other into building blocks. Component-based programming (CBP) supports software development by isolating reusable building blocks that can be assembled and connected in many different ways. We show how AOP and CBP can be integrated by introducing a new component construct for programming cla...

In recent literature, argument expression is often taken to be most immediately determined by aspectual properties. This idea is reflected in statements as strong as Tenny’s Aspectual Interface Hypothesis that “Only the aspectual part of thematic structure is visible to the universal linking principles” (1994:2) and in van Hout’s (1996) proposal that many argument expression alternations are in...

Aspectual predesign is an approach to user-verified mapping of the nonfunctional requirements to the system into the aspect-oriented design model. It is an extension of the Klagenfurt Conceptual Predesign. In this paper, we present the architecture of modular software tool aiming to support the aspectual predesign workflow. The XML-based Predesign Exchange Format (PEF) for conversionindependent...
