question about two works on Russian aspect

[Wayles Browne]

Wierzbicka has referred to the example umrzec' (perfective) vs. 
umierac' (imperfective) in several works, but I believe the first is:
Wierzbicka, A. (1967). On the semantics of verbal aspect in Polish. 
In: To Honor Roman Jakobson, Vol. 3 (pp.2231-2249). The Hague: Mouton.

The idea is: if someone _umiera_, he is doing something which, if it 
were continued, would end with umrzec' "dying".
