Reviews

From the reviews: By her systematic analysis of the two-component theory and her strict commitment to its principles, Smith allows the reader to appreciate the accuracy of the general analysis and evaluate its applicability to individual languages. The book is well organized and easy to followa ]In conclusion, this work is an important contribution to the study of aspect. The first edition of the book became one of the basic works on aspect, cited by many and used as a textbook by some. I believe this edition will gain the same respect. (Galia Hatav, Pragmatics and Cognition, 2000)
