Meeting Description:

Recently, the study of verbal aspect as a grammatical category, from both a typological and an individual linguistic point of view, has developed rapidly. This is the most grammaticalized and complex facet of a heterogeneous aspectual semantic zone. Moving in this direction, the main subject of verbal aspectual study was identified at previous international conferences on verbal aspect organized as part of the research project run by the International Commission on Aspectology of the International Committee of Slavists. At the third conference, “Verbal Aspect: Grammatical Meaning and Context” held in Padova, questions on the relationship between aspect and context were mainly discussed. At the fourth conference, “The Semantic Scope of Slavic Aspect” held in Gothenburg, the central focus of analysis became the many-sided nature of an aspectual semantic zone of slavic languages.

In view of the objective outlined above, the main purpose of the fifth conference is consideration of various systems of verbal aspect, from both a synchronic and diachronic perspective. The following important questions for discussion are suggested:

- The relationship between components of an aspectual semantic zone, such as aspectual grammemes, actional tags and classes, as well as tools of transformation of actional characteristics of predicates
- The relationship between an aspectual semantic zone and other semantic zones
- The relationship between an aspectual semantic zone and the morphosyntactic organization of the sentence
- The relationship between aspectual semantic zone and discourse strategies
- The scripts of diachronic progresses of systems of verbal aspect:
grammaticalization of an aspectual semantic zone, processes of perfectivation and imperfectivation, and so forth

The object of analysis will be not only all Slavic languages, but also a comparison between Slavic languages and other natural languages which express aspect by different means.
