| Summary: | For a long period of time aspect of the Greek language was directly associated with the tense of the verb, and specifically the verb stem. This state of affairs is part of the 'old approach' to grammar which tends to explain items in isolation. The present paper underscores a functional view of language whereby distinctions are mainly made in terms of usages in context. Aspect and tense are separated from each other in the sense that there is no one-to-one relationship between the two items. Seven domains of aspect are indicated, and tested by means of examples from Luke-Acts. |
