Abstract:

The linguistic categories of aspect, tense and action are closely
interrelated. In the first part of "Aspect, Tense and Action in the Arabic
dialect of Beirut", Stefan Bruweleit defines the three categories and
describes the interplay between them at a metagrammatical level. In the next
parts he applies the theoretical findings of the first part to the Arabic
dialect of Beirut, investigates the ways temporal, aspectual and actional
categories are expressed and shows how to decide whether the verb system of
the dialect has to be regarded as aspectual or as temporal. One of the main
results of the work is the fact that a thorough understanding of a verb system
is only possible through an understanding of the categorial interplay of
aspect, tense and action.
