It uses a cognitive approach to examine aspectual semantics and relationships between meaning and form involving the expression and categorization of aspectual situations in three languages. It elucidates language-specific realizations of aspectual conceptualization in each of the three languages and reveals aspectually motivated regularities in translations among these languages. %K Aspectual semantics, Aspectual situation, Aspectual conceptualization, Regularity, Translation %G English
