Hello,
I am looking for a work that summarizes the different
morphosyntactic realizations of (semantic) aspect
crosslinguistically. That is, a work that gives examples of
languages in which aspect morphemes pattern with main verbs,
those in which they appear to occupy a distinct category, those in
which they are inflectional elements, those in which they patterns
with adverbs, etc. I can find examples here and there, but I am
hoping that somebody can point me to a publication that
systematically summarizes what I am looking for.
Thanks!
