This paper proposes a two-level model that integrates tense and aspect information, based on theories by both Hornstein (in the spirit of Reichenbach) and Allen, with lexicai-semantic information based on an extended version of $ackendoff's theory that includes a verb classification system proposed by Dowty and Vendler. The model is intended to be extensible to realms outside of the temporal do...

The different distinctions related to lexical aspect –state, activity, accomplishments and achievements– play an important role in the grammar of Spanish, but many details about how these can be implemented are unclear: which features distinguish between classes, classes relate each other, what is nature telicity or dynamicity one account for alternations that a verb subject involving its some ...

This article discusses the nature of Estonian aspect and case, proposing an analysis of Estonian verbal aspect, aspectual case, and clausal aspect. The focus is on the interaction of transitive telic verbs (write, win) and aspectual case at the level of the functional structure. The main discussion concerns the relationships between aspect and the object case alternation. The data set comprises...

This study uses self-organizing feature maps to model the acquisition of lexical and grammatical aspect. Previous research has identified a strong association between lexical aspect and grammatical aspect in child language, on the basis of which some researchers proposed innate semantic categories (Bickerton, 1984) or prelinguistic semantic space (Slobin, 1985). Our simulations indicate that th...
