The fatigue strength of cast steel components is severely affected by manufacturing process-based bulk and surface imperfections. As these defect structures possess an arbitrary spatial shape, the utilization local assessment methods encouraged to design for service strength. This work applies elastic–plastic strain energy density concept study properties a high-strength alloy G12MnMo7-4+QT. A ...

In Slavic languages, verbal prefixes can be applied to perfective verbs deriving new perfective verbs, and multiple prefixes can occur in a single verb. This well-known type of data has not yet been adequately analyzed within current approaches to the semantics of Slavic verbal prefixes and aspect. The notion “aspect” covers “grammatical aspect”, or “viewpoint aspect” (see Smith 1991/1997), bes...

The study examines how prototypes and typological relationships between the L1, L2 target language (TL) interact with TL proficiency in learning Italian as additional language. Low-proficiency high-proficiency undergraduate learners of (N = 25) Swedish L1 performed an oral retelling story test, aiming to elicit aspectual contrast perfective-imperfective. Their tense selection was analyzed consi...

Two experiments examine how grammatical verb aspect constrains our understanding of events. According to linguistic theory, an event described in the perfect aspect (John had opened the bottle) should evoke a mental representation of a finished event with focus on the resulting object, whereas an event described in the imperfective aspect (John was opening the bottle) should evoke a representat...

The theoretical starting point of our considerations is Smith's theory of aspect (Smith 1991). We apply her theoretical framework to German { a language without any as-pectual markers { which is a language she does not investigate. In particular, we try to shed more light on the eeects aspect can have on discourse structure and show how English and German behave diierently in this respect. Smit...

This article examines how Russian aspectual pairs from borrowed and colloquial verbs are formed. question is relevant since the most common source languages of loan do not express distinction (imperfective-perfective) morphologically. Seventeen new verbs, which belong to technological sphere, were examined in an online experiment (N=120), native speakers asked form perfective counterparts for a...

This paper revisits four clitics of Pagu (a West-Papuan language spoken in North Halmahera, Indonesia) those that have been described as Tense and Aspect markers (Wimbish 1991): -oka, -ou -osi, -uli. The first one is considered a tense marker for ‘non-future’ time, while the other three are aspect ‘perfective’, ‘imperfective’, ‘repetitive’ respectively. Following metatypy approach (Ross 2006; 2...

The aims of the paper are twofold. First, it provides a systematic qualitative corpus study into differences between Russian and Czech in use aspect chains single, episodic events, as well habitual contexts, which takes account role verb class, aspectual affixes, discourse relations, other factors contributing to overall interpretation given sentence. findings suggest that while makes narrative...

Previous research in child language acquisition identifies discrepancies between child and adult use of verbal inflectional morphology In this paper, we consider a case of partial undergeneralization where children's use of the-ed and-ing endings seems constrained by the aspectual class of the host verb. Children, more than adults, seem reluctant to generalize the imperfective morpheme to state...

Abstract Two secret languages used in Tashlhiyt Berber are reported work by Douchaïna (1996, 1998) and Lahrouchi & Ségéral (2009, 2010ab): Tagnawt Taqjmit. I propose that they should both be analyzed as instances of prosodic morphology, employing the same morpheme [L.LL.L]. Prosodic morphemes common regular morphology Tashlhiyt: foot [LL] for imperfective Tifrdi, word [H.H] Ukris, [L.H.L] T...
