The aspectual architecture of the Slavic verb:

Analogies in other languages and other grammatical domains


06 November – 08 November 2023

Our key topics include (aspect-driven) syntactic and semantic parallels between nominal and verbal expressions. We analyze the scope of aspectual markers across languages, starting from Slavic, but going far beyond. We investigate aspectual architecture of the (Slavic) verb, search for unusual uses, see what ‘Slavic aspect’ really means and how Slavic non-Slavic languages are regarding their aspectual potential.
