Dear List,
I forgot to add footnote 2 from Aubrey's review.
[2] The reason behind this is simple. These are terms that originally were used
to describe Russian aspect, where the only aspectual distinction was the
derivational application of a preposition (and thus Lexical Aspect, i.e.
Aktionsart). For that reason, one could say that Porter is just as wrong in
using the terms perfective and imperfect since they historically referred to
lexical rather than morphological aspect.
En Xristwi,
Rev. Bryant J. Williams III
