	Aspect - FrathWiki
		linguistics is a property of a verb that defines the temporal flow of the described event or state.
		Arabic shows a contrast between dynamic and static aspect (the concepts 'ride' and 'mount' are shown by the same verb, rukubun, static in the former case and dynamic in the latter).
		It is important to note that linguistic aspect is distinct from tense, which pinpoints the time at which an action takes place, and is not related to its degree of completion (which might be a good way to describe aspect in layman's terms).

	Grammatical aspect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		In linguistics, grammatical aspect is a property of a verb that defines the nature of temporal flow (or lack thereof) in the described event or state.
		Aspect signals the duration that the event covers (and perhaps its commencement, continuation, completion, or repetition, etc.); for example, whether the event was/is/will be of some fixed range of time, or whether it was/is/will be an ongoing process.
		The aspect is indicated by the case of the object: accusative is telic and partitive is atelic.

	Aspect
		In computer programming, an aspect is a feature that is linked to many parts of a program, but which is not necessarily the primary function of the program.
		In linguistics, aspect is a grammatical feature having to do with the internal temporal flow of an event.
		In astrology, aspect is the relative angle between two heavenly bodies.

	Linguistics
		Linguistic context is discourse that precedes a sentence to be interpreted and situational context is knowledge about the world.
		Linguistic changes like sound shift is found in the history of all languages, as evidenced by the regular sound correspondences that exist between different stages of the same language, different dialects, and different languages.
		Linguists identify regular sound correspondences using the comparative method among the cognates (words that developed from the same ancestral language) of related languages.

		Fredrik Oldsjö, Tense and Aspect in Caesar's Narrative.
		Once aspect is de-contextualized, we have grammatical aspect -- the slippery semantics that seem to inhere in the "aspect stems" and have a variegated proto-Indo-European history -- and lexical aspect, representing the total temporal semantics of the verb with other elements of the phrase or clause in which it sits.
		On the one hand there is the conviction that aspect stems and their Aktionsarten have an affinity for certain tenses, and in the other hand there is the supposition that choice of tense (and thus aspect) is conditioned by rules at the narrative level.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Semantics
		Semantics is contrasted with two other aspects of meaningful expression, namely, syntax, the construction of complex signs from simpler signs, and pragmatics, the practical use of signs by agents or communities of interpretation in particular circumstances and contexts.
		In linguistics, semantics is the subfield that is devoted to the study of meaning, as borne on the syntactic levels of words, phrases, sentences, and sometimes larger units of discourse, generically referred to as texts.
		An area of study is the meaning of compounds, another is the study of relations between different linguistic expressions (homonymy, synonymy, antonymy, polysemy, paronyms, hypernymy, hyponymy, meronymy, metonymy, holonymy, exocentric, and endocentric).

	Graduate Program in Linguistics at CUNY
		Linguistics attempts to answer at least part of this question by studying languages themselves.
		On-going research by students is on topics as varied as the individual/stage level distinction, aspect and intensionality in Japanese, the nature of causation, causative alternations, wa and ga in Japanese, interpretations of quantifiers such as few and many, conditionals, and the logics of conversation.
		CUNY computational linguistics is interested in developing computational models of a wide range of linguistic phenomena, often incorporating linguistic knowledge into the models.

	Nancy Chang -- Research -- Aspect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Aspect refers to the ways in which the internal shape of an event affects both acceptability and interpretation of the linguistic devices used to describe it.
		Linguistic markers affecting aspect (such as those constraining tense, temporal modifiers, nominals and pragmatic context) can elaborate and constrain event simulations.
		The token in the node marked ongoing corresponds to the progressive aspect of the sentence (i.e., the event is in progress).

	Stein: Historical linguistics in an English curriculum
		The latter is often characterized by a little linguistics often appendicital to literature, and mostly reflected in the fact that there may be one linguist (often "stylistician”) in the English department, or none at all, the study of English being the study of literature written in English.
		The linguistic side will not be able to achieve this goal if it is a linguistics that is built on a discrete and uncommunicable line between two different types of linguistics, and between linguistics and literature.
		Historical linguistics is about the archeology of the "horizon”, of the linguistic basis for the reconstruction of meanings: how can we know whether a use of "th” in the Shakespeare corpus is poetic or not, if not by analysing the state of the grammar of the language in that particular subcompartment.

		Linguistics is also interested in how language is represented in the human mind and how we learn languages as a child or as an adult.
		Another aspect of Linguistics is the study of how language functions in society, for example in the courtroom or in conversations between doctors and patients.

		In the present paper we attend to his position regarding linguistics as a science of mind/brain, which we believe is an important aspect of his theory that has not been paid enough attention or understood by his opponents.
		The study of linguistic universals, which is classified as formal or substantive, is the study of the properties of UG for a natural language.
		He differentiates linguistics from mathematics and emphasizes the empirical aspect of linguistics and its relationship to brain sciences; therefore, the justification of his theory is not only a theoretical matter, but also an empirical that relies on the results of brain science.

	Notes
		For a contrasting history of the development of linguistics in Britain, see R. Harris (ed.), Linguistic Thought in England 1914—1945 (London: Duckworth, 1988), where it is obvious that there was far less systematic development, at least in part explaining why American linguistics has come to dominate linguistic discussion.
		Chomskyan linguistics and its offspring have developed in many different directions, especially in terms of the question of meaning.

	JUST Response \| Domenico Pacitti \| A new twist (Noam Chomsky)
		The task of linguistics after the Chomskyan revolution became to uncover this formidable array of mental rules.
		The effort to resolve this tension went on for about 25 years, with linguists struggling to demonstrate that the surface complexity of language was only superficial.
		Instead of looking for rules, said Chomsky, linguistics researchers needed to look for "general principles that are fixed and part of our genetic endowment, and parameters, the choices the child is somehow preprogrammed to activate at precise phases of his linguistic development.

		Text linguistics, though firmly based on all precedent work in sentence linguistics, is not a mere extension of the methods of the latter to units above the sentence; it adds a new dimension to linguistics, which may affect our thinking about any aspect of linguistics.
		In this paper the concept of text is applied to the linguistic analysis of selected haiku.
		These poems are examined from three perspectives: (1) being "a" text, the demarcation of one text from another; (2) having the quality of being "text," the aspect or function of language that constitutes this; and (3) having the structure of a text.

		Two hypotheses are considered: (a) the Distributional Bias Hypothesis, which attributes the aspect before tense phenomenon to input (Li 1989), and (b) the Cognitive Limitation Hypothesis, which attributes the phenomenon to underdevelopment of temporal concepts (Bronckart and Sinclair 1973).
		When used with punctual or telic verbs (such as punctual activities, accomplishments and achievements), it indicates perfective aspect as well as past tense.
		It was further found that this pattern of usage was not attested in the child-directed speech: the mothers tended to use the tense marker primarily with durative activity verbs to encode past tense (and not perfective aspect).
