Aktionsart • Aktionsart = “kind of action” (punctiliar; durative; etc.). • Apart from the tenses, there is a “kind of action” implied in verb stem itself (“blink the eye;” “live a life”). • Tenses impose their own “kind of action” on verb stem. • Aorist may impose punctiliar notion on durative stem. • Present may impose durative notion on punctiliar stem. • Combination of tense idea and verb-stem meaning results in three types of aorist: • Constative – unmodified point action. • Ingressive – point-action with stress on beginning. • Culminative – point-action with stress on conclusion.
