The aim of this article is to present the Italian studies on Slavic verbal aspect published between the years 1990-2020. Issues analyzed in this survey include (but are not limited to) the meanings of the perfective and imperfective aspects, actionality, the role of prefixes and suffixes in the grammaticalization of aspect, the interaction between aspect and other verbal categories, and the pragmatic uses of aspect. Moreover, the diachronic and typological perspectives are considered as well as the acquisitional perspective. Verbal aspect is explored in a group of Slavic languages, including Russian, Czech, Polish, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovenian, and Resian. It is argued that further research on verbal aspect in other Slavic languages can shed a new light on this issue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
