Abstract
This paper discusses lexical aspect and its presence in Spanish and Chinese. We believe that linguistically, aspect exists in two dimensions: at sentence level (grammatical aspect) and at lexical level (lexical aspect). Semantically, lexical aspect is classified into state, activity, accomplishment and achievement. In this paper, we propose a method to distinguish these four types of verbs. In Spanish, lexical aspect associates with infinitive verbs, while in Chinese, lexical aspect does not consider particles as 着 zhe, 了l e, 过 guò but takes into account the complements. This paper studies the characteristics of lexical aspect in Chinese and then discusses in specific the aspectual function of resultative complements and static complements in Chinese. Furthermore, a comparison between those complements and its counterparts in Spanish is implemented.
