Based on an earlier edition published in 1992 in Bulgarian, this
book offers a specific approach to one of the most controversial
problems in linguistics. According to it, aspect is the result of a
subtle and complex interplay between the referents of verbs and
nouns in the sentence. Special attention is paid to the role nouns
and noun phrases play in the explication of aspect in English (and
similar languages). The grammatical marking of aspect is shown to
be a compensatory phenomenon imposed by language structure.
Comparisons made using Slavic (mainly Bulgarian) data reveal that
compositional aspect is a mirror image of verbal aspect. When
explicated compositionally, aspect is also determined by pragmatic
factors. Ultimately, it is part of man's cognitive potential.
