What is neutral aspect ? ‘Neutral aspect’ is a term that was introduced by Carlota Smith (Smith 1994) to describe aspectual forms that appear to have semantic qualities of both the perfective and imperfective aspect. Can be morphologically realized as forms that have traditionally been labeled as ‘imperfective’ or ‘perfective’. Plays a crucial role in many analyses of aspect (see, e.g. Schilder 1995; 1997, Iatridou et al. 2001, Giorgi & Pianesi 2001, Pancheva 2003, Deo 2006: 104, Chi-Fung 2006: 24, Chen 2008, Boneh & Doron 2008, Dahl 2010: §1.2, Travis 2010); see Csirmaz 2004 for more discussion. 2
Dahl 2010 “…there is evidence that the neutral aspect can be shown to represent an aspectual type which behaves differently than the imperfective, the perfective and the anterior aspect” (ibid: 88). } Cf. Three-way aspectual distinction in Comrie 1976 3
