  • Descrição: We apply experimental data to identify contexts in which Russian aspect is categorically determined (‘categorical contexts’) and contexts in which both aspects can appear (‘overlapping contexts’). Traditional analyses suggest that these contexts are distinct and that certain features are typical for each type of context. Such analyses tend to rely on constructed examples typically consisting of a single sentence. Our experiment, by contrast, is based on extensive (over 1100 words each) authentic texts (created by and for native Russians), and the identification of contexts is not a priori , but emerges from contexts normed by over 500 native speakers. We present two main findings: 1) the distinction between categorical contexts and overlapping contexts is scalar, not discrete; and 2) a multitude of factors distinguish the two types of contexts, modality in particular is prominent in overlapping contexts, a factor that has received little prior attention. Our data both confirms and significantly extends previous analyses by presenting empirically justified factors that distinguish categorical from overlapping contexts.
