EI hH PARATATIKH OYIS PROSTIQHSI "TO CWRIS TELOUS EINAI", hH AORISTOS OYIS
PROSTIQHSI "TO META TELOS EINAI". The aorist is often semantically marked even
if pragmatically unmarked. hO AORISTOS POLLAKIS PROSTIQHSI DUNAMIN TWi LOGWi.

MHDE hORON" KAI "EN THi TECNHi GRAMMATIKHi" ANTI TOU "EN TECNHi GRAMMATIKHi".
