“…Since the aspectual verbs express inchoative/continuative aspect, we expect that they cannot be combined with stative predicates; the predicate must be dynamic in the sense of Verkuyl (1972Verkuyl ( /2005. This is illustrated by means of the contrast between the two examples in (198); note that we found one case such as (198b), but in that case, gaat ziek zijn clearly means something like "is going to simulate being ill".…”

In this paper, the interplay of modal markers with the lexical aspect of the verb in Han period Chinese is at issue. Abraham and Leiss (Modality-aspect interfaces: Implications and typological solutions, 2008) propose a strong and possibly universal relation between the verbal aspect and either the root/deontic or the epistemic reading of a modal verb based on data from the Germanic languages. In this article, this hypothesis will be checked against the data of Late Archaic and Early Middle (Han period) Chinese. It will be proposed that a relation similar to that in the Germanic languages can also be established for Chinese at least for the root modal values, despite the obvious differences between the aspectual and modal system of Chinese and that of the Germanic languages. As in the Germanic languages, root modal verbs in general select verbs/predicates which are compatible with the perfective aspect, i.e. [+TELIC] verbs. Due to the fact that epistemic readings have not developed yet for modal auxiliary verbs, the constraints proposed in Abraham and Leiss for the epistemic reading of modal verbs in combination with imperfective or [−TELIC] verbs cannot be confirmed for LAC and EMC. Epistemic modality is expressed by sentential adverbs which take an entire proposition as their complement. These are less confined in their selectional restrictions than modal auxiliary verbs.

“…Esto es, analizaremos de qué modo se conceptualiza el significado final de una oración cuando el tipo aspectual del verbo y el de la construcción no coinciden. Los autores que adoptan una aproximación composicional del modo de acción dan cuenta de numerosos cambios de interpretación aspectual del verbo, en función de las propiedades aspectuales del contexto en el cual aparecen (Verkuyl, 1972(Verkuyl, , 1989(Verkuyl, , 1993(Verkuyl, , 2005De Miguel, 1999;Marín, 2000;entre otros). No obstante, generalmente no se ofrece una explicación unificada de estos cambios que permita dar cuenta de la relación que se establece entre las diferentes categorías aspectuales.…”

“…A partir de estas oposiciones nocionales básicas se han propuesto numerosas tipologías de clasificación verbal, entre las cuales destaca la propuesta de Vendler (1957) que, seguido por Dowty (1979), distingue cuatro clases aspectuales de verbos, tal como se ilustra en la Tabla 1. Vendler (1957) No obstante, la información aspectual no es exclusiva del verbo, sino que resulta de su combinación con otros elementos de la oración: modificadores adverbiales, cuantificación del objeto directo, perífrasis verbales, flexión, entre otros (Mourelatos, 1978;Verkuyl, 1972Verkuyl, , 1993Verkuyl, , 1999Verkuyl, , 2005Smith, 1991;Tenny, 1994;De Miguel, 1999Marín, 2000;Rothstein, 2004). Es precisamente esta observación la que ha provocado un gran debate en el ámbito de la aspectología: ¿cómo y en qué medida interactúan la semántica léxica y la sintaxis en la codificación lingüística de la información aspectual?…”

ResumenEste trabajo investiga la interacción entre el léxico y la sintaxis en el cálculo de las interpretaciones aspectuales. Se presenta la hipótesis según la cual los verbos imponen diferentes pesos léxicos o grados de prototipicidad en el cálculo aspectual de la oración, de manera que los verbos que comparten el mismo modo de acción no necesariamente presentan las mismas posibilidades de coerción aspectual. En particular, mostraremos que los verbos se pueden clasificar en tres grandes grupos, en función de su grado de restricción aspectual: verbos monosémicos estables, verbos monosémicos flexibles y verbos polisémicos, una tipología que se refleja en diferentes grados de estabilidad sintáctica, semántica y morfológica.PALABRAS CLAVE: semántica verbal, modo de acción, prototipos, polisemia. AbstractThis paper investigates the interaction between lexicon and syntax in the calculation of aspectual interpretations. It presents the hypothesis according to which verbs impose different lexical weights or degrees of prototypicality in calculation of sentential aspect, so that the verbs that share the same basic Aktionsart type not necessarily have the same chance of aspectual coercion. In particular, it is shown that verbs can be classified into three groups, according to their degree of aspectual restriction: stable monosemous verbs, flexible monosemous verbs and aspectual polysemous verbs, a typology that is reflected in different degrees of syntactic, semantic and morphological stability.
