Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics
Meeting Description:
The conference will approach the subject of aspectuality from three different
perspectives:
Contrastive approach: Does contrastive analysis identify functional
equivalencies between different ways in which aspect shows itself in different
languages? What remains and what changes? Or can aspectual phenomena rather be
explained in terms used for general language-specific qualities?
The general theoretical framework: The first problem here has to do with the
definition of aspect. If it was to be linked with particular forms in which it
manifested itself, the theory would immediately become language-specific. In
broader semantic definitions, linguists often use concepts as 'primitives' which
call for explanation. What is a situation or an action or a process? A related
problem has to do with mixing, distinguishing and relating the concepts of
aspect and Aktionsart in theory.
Aspect and definiteness: This could be the most experimental section of the
conference. So far, aspect and definiteness have been distinguished as qualities
of a verb and a noun respectively, but one could ask whether a more general
mechanism of definition does not come up in those and how their influence
defines the type of situation. What are the possible combinations of aspect and
definiteness?
