Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the interaction of verbal aspect and the type of verb situation (traditionally Aktionsart) by analyzing the influence of semantic characteristics such as stativity, duration, goal and boundedness on aspect and aktionsart. Furthermore, the paper attempts to determine how the imperfective aspect modifies the distinctive features altering in such way the semantic characteristics of lexical verbs and consequently the type of verb situation.
