Abstract
Vladimir A. Plungian: Typological Aspects of Slavic Aspectology: Some Addenda The article aims at presenting Slavic aspectual oppositions from a typological point of view (following earlier suggestions of Dahl, Dickey and others), so that the rate of idiosyncratic to common features in Slavic aspectual systems can be assessed against a universal background. Section 1 is an introduction, section 2 briefly characterizes the universal notion of aspect as it appears cross-linguistically, while section 3 discusses typologically relevant properties of Slavic aspectual categories and their linguistic expression. The main claim is that Slavic aspectual systems are much less typical than often thought. The following features are given special attention: a binary aspectual opposition built upon semantically broad “aspectual clusters”; a perfective aspect expressing momentariness rather than temporal boundedness, and a system of perfectivizing derivational prefixes with additional classificatory functions.
