The Semantic Scope of Slavic Aspect. Fourth Conference of the International Commission on Aspectology of the International Committee of Slavists. University of Gothenburg, June 10-14, 2013. : Semantičeskij spektr slavjanskogo vida. IV Konferencija Komissii po aspektologii Meždunarodnogo Komiteta Slavistov. Gёteborgskij universitet, 10 ijunja – 14 ijunja 2013.

• The conference is organized around several tematic areas, covering current research on aspectology. It is widely known that aspect is one of the major grammatical categories of the Slavic verb. The difficulty of studying the category of aspect can, as emphasized by many researchers, be explained by the multi-leveled nature of its meaning. Therefore, it is not surprising that questions regarding the semantic content of the category itself or meanings originating from the interaction between aspectual forms and different kinds of contexts in recent decades have become central in aspectological research. The conference is aimed at continuing the discussion of aspectual semantics – covering the entire “semantic scope of aspect” (Maslov, 1975) – in the areas, including both classic aspectological problems and new issues and their solutions. The object of analysis is not only all Slavic languages, but also a comparison between Slavic languages and other natural languages which express aspect by different means. The conference working languages are: all Slavic languages and English.
