This book addresses the problems of the nature of the category of
aspect, its formal expression and its relation to Action modes, to
the Aorist/Imperfect and Perfect/Non-Perfect distinctions. The
discussion is largely based on data from Bulgarian -- a Slavonic
language where aspect as a grammatical category systematically
coexists not only with verbal prefixation, but also with temporal
boundedness, correlation and, in the nominal sphere, definiteness.
Cross-language parallels with English and French data and the
mapping of Bulgarian structures to notions drawn from the «western
tradition of aspectual study result in the outline of a framework
for an integrated study of the expression of aspectuality in
languages belonging to different language groups. Refuting existing
views of aspect as a «compensatory phenomenon for nominal
definiteness, the book presents arguments in favour of a systematic
relation between verbal prefixation and NP quantification in
Slavonic languages and of a compositional, syntactic dimension of
aspectual analysis.
