/><hr /><br /><b>Descripción</b><br /><p> In this work, the
Spanish copulae ser and estar are argued to be aspectual morphemes.
Their binary opposition reflects the universal aspectual values
[±Perfective], which are the same ones overtly expressed by the
preterite and imperfect past tense forms in Spanish. It can therefore
be shown that different types of states, just like different types of
events, can be categorized based on their aspectual composition.
Additionally, the inherent semantic differences between events and
states can be accounted for by analyzing aspect as applying to events
internally and to states externally. A useful resource for the
beginning linguist as well as the most seasoned analyst, this work is
written in language that is easy to understand while remaining
faithful to all of the appropriate relevant technical terminology.
Anyone who is seriously interested in exploring why the Spanish verbs
ser and estar are used the way they are should read this book. <br
/><br />“This study provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account
of aspect in copular sentences. Roby's analysis is thoughtfully
crafted and clearly defended--an important contribution.” <br
/>Karen Zagona, The University of Washington</p><br
