Abstract

Abstract Actionality (also referred to by labels such as “lexical aspect” or “aktionsart”) is the semantic dimension that encodes the constituent phases and boundaries of situations. Despite its central role in aspectual interpretation, careful language-specific descriptions and typological surveys of actional systems have been rare thus far. In this introduction, we describe the steps that lead to the compilation of the present special issue. We discuss several theoretical and methodological challenges that both field linguists and typologists face when investigating actional systems in the languages of the world and we point out some of the important insights to be gained from such endeavors. We then proceed to give an overview of the individual and varied contributions that make up this issue.
引言:词汇在行动中的作用
动作性(也被称为“词法方面”或“动作”等标签)是对情景的组成阶段和边界进行编码的语义维度。尽管它在方面解释中起着核心作用,但迄今为止,对行为系统进行细致的特定语言描述和类型学调查还很少见。在这篇导言中,我们描述了导致本期特刊编辑的步骤。我们讨论了领域语言学家和类型学家在研究世界语言中的行为系统时所面临的几个理论和方法上的挑战,并指出了一些可以从这些努力中获得的重要见解。然后,我们继续对构成这个问题的个人和各种贡献进行概述。
