Grammatische Aspektsemantik: Aspektualität im Slavischen (am Beispiel des Polnischen)

The present paper deals with verbal aspect in Polish and its grammatical semantics. It is assumed that aspect in Slavic languages in general and in Polish in particular is a twodimensional category – grammatical and lexical. Moreover, as regards meaning both grammatical and lexical aspectuality can be distinguished. In the grammatical sphere of the semantics of aspect we indicate some terminological deficits in that the grammatical aspectuality is not limited only to imperfectivity and perfectivity but it also encompasses its aoristic nature. Thus, we propose to call the imperfective aspect the procesual aspect, while the perfective aspect – non-procesual aspect. This is because non-procesuality implies both perfectivity and aoristic nature.
