Dissertation Abstract:

The dissertation topic has been selected from the field of cognitive
linguistics. Research from temporal semantics, cognitive science and
lexical semantics is also considered. A subset of lexical material
will be analyzed in its relationship to cognitive processing and
conceptualization. The special focus is on aktionsarten (i.e. in
different terminologies, lexical aspect or mode of action) from a
contrastive vantage point (German-English). Traditionally, the
analysis of temporal phenomena in language refers to tense, temporal
adverbials, temporal prepositions and conjunctions and the field of
aspect and aktionsart. All mentioned categories will be sketched
according to their cognitive relevance. In a contrastive discussion,
differences in conceptualization between different languages can be
established and systematized. The dissertation hypothesizes that
aspects and their lexicalized counterparts aktionsarten can be
ascribed a higher cognitive relevance than other temporal categories.
