Description:
The course will discuss peculiar properties of grammatical aspect, one of the
most versatile and striking grammatical categories of natural languages. The
primary objective of the course is to present recent accounts of aspect in
terms of various theoretical frameworks, including contemporary cognitive and
formal approaches. The focus will be on rich empirical data from a variety of
languages, including Germanic, Slavic, Celtic, Romance and Indo-Iranian
languages (in particular English, Russian, Bulgarian, Scottish Gaelic,
Spanish, and Hindi) as well as some non-Indo-European languages. The course
will cover both broad-ranging issues regarding aspect as well as research
findings of the instructors. Each instructor will hold a lecture and a
tutoring session for students. The topics of the lectures are the following:

- "On the primitives of aspect across languages and their acquisition" (María
J. Arche, University of Greenwich)

- "(Im)perfectivity across languages and theories" (Antonio Fábregas and Laura
A. Janda, UiT The Arctic University of Norway)

- "The interface of lexical semantics / clause structure and aspect" (Mila
Dimitrova Vulchanova, Norwegian University of Science and Technology)

- "Aspectual categories across languages: semantic vs. morphological criteria"
(Gillian C. Ramchand, UiT The Arctic University of Norway)

- "TAME in a multilingual parallel corpus" (Östen Dahl, Stockholm University)

- "A cognitive account of statements of fact in the Slavic East-West aspect
division" (Stephen M. Dickey, University of Kansas)
