ABSTRACT

This paper analyzed the aspectual composition elements from the viewpoint of grounding. Grounding is the process of instantiation whereby linguistic expressions are linked to the spatiotemporal entities. A sentence can denote an Event as a partiular in the time and space by the grounding process. Chinese is an aspect prominent language, so viewpoint aspect particles(-le, -zhe, -guo, zai-) can be viewed as grounding predications. In addition, situation aspect elements(e.g. internal arguments, situation type of verbs, event modifying adverb phrases, verbal complements ect.) also function as grounding elements.
