Abstract

Using the tools of formal semantics, we examine interactions between view point aspect and Aktionsart in the process of constructing the aspectual meaning of the sentence in French. If Klein's notion of topic time serves as a link between temporal and aspectual information conveyed by tense morphemes, it also allows us to understand why we must postulate, in certain cases, that the situation denoted by the predicate undergoes aspectual transformation.
