Aspect and Aktionsart in Slavic, inflection and derivation in RRG

Abstract: Slavic languages are characterized by systematic pairings of verbs showing aspectual oppositions. Usually the perfective verbs are derived from imperfectives by prefixation, but the other processes, such as the derivation of secondary imperfectives and perfectives by suffixation, also exist. In this paper, it is argued that Slavic aspect needs to be represented chiefly in terms of derivation, as the system of lexical rules relating logical structures of verbs that form aspectual pairs, although it also shows some features usually associated with inflection (as a grammatical category expressed by nuclear operators in the operator projection)
