German is well known for lacking grammatical
aspect. But are there languages whose verbal morphology
(along with productive
periphrastic constructions) encodes only aspectual meanings,
with tense always

<p>Dear Sergey,</p>
<p>you may wish to specify your question. First of all,
there are languages without any aspect at all, e.g.
German. Second, there are languages with more than two
aspects at the same morphological level, e.g. Yucatec
Maya. So what exactly is the question?</p>
<p>Cheers, Christian</p>

allow me a naïve question: do we believe in a
one-feature binary opposition of “perfective” vs.
“imperfective” aspect in languages that, unlike
English (e.g., yesterday he wrote ~ yesterday he was

escribiendo), do not exhibit a clear-cut
morphological distinction of this kind within the
same tense, if I may put it as simply as possible?</span></p>
