imperatives, aspect, and negation

[Bjoern Wiemer]

Dear SEELANGSlers,

can anybody help me finding comprehensive and reliable analyses of aspect
choice with imperatives, in particular in negated ones, in South Slavic
languages? Handbooks on Croatian, Bulgarian etc. state that only ipf. verbs
can be used if the imperative falls under the scope of negation. Thus, there
would be left no meaningful choice, contrary to the Northern territory of
the Slavia. I would appreciate also if anybody could convey me bibliographic
data on analyses concerning dialects of the South Slavic languages, or even
articles etc. dealing with the historical development of aspect choice in
the above mentioned contexts, starting from the time of the first documents.
        I promise to write a "digest" if I gather enough information.

Best,
        Bjoern Wiemer.
