“Within the framework of a distinction between grammatical and lexical aspect, the category grammatical aspect, which is usually realized in the morphology of the verb, includes the imperfective and the perfective aspect, whereas the lexical''' aspect concerns the situation types (Aktionsarten) of the verb, i.e. it is inherent to the semantics of the verb.”
