ABSTRACT

This paper aims to explain the semantics of the aspectual auxiliary predicate ‘-eo issta’ and ‘-go issta’ constructions considering the semantic function of the connective endings ‘-eo’ and –go’ and the distribution of the auxiliary predicates. Connective ending ‘-eo’ is a sequential marker and another connective ending ‘–go’ is a sequential and simultaneous marker. So ‘-eo’ is related to the resultative aspect and ‘-go’ is related to the progressive and the resultative aspect in aspectual auxiliary predicate. As for the distribution of ‘-eo issta’ and ‘-go issta’, ‘-eo issta’ and ‘-go issta’ can be combined with the same event type having the similar meaning or the different meaning. This paper can verify that the aspectual meaning of the ‘-eo issta’ and ‘-go issta’ constructions can be analyzed based on the event structure of the Generative Lexicon Theory and the compositionality principle.
