Types of Lexical Aspects in Persian verbs

The current paper is an outlook toward Lexical Aspect and its types exist as a semantic parameter in verb and indicate trend of doing task of verb in terms of continuance، iteration، duration etc. Although discourse aspect is considered as independent factor in verb morphology، but the resultant syntactic reflection does not solely corresponds to grammatical aspect; instead، it includes lexical aspect as well. At this essay، lexical aspect has been sparated and distinguished from grammatical aspect and its type will be analyzed. In general، lexical aspect may be divided into two categories: “Static” (e. g. to deserve) and “Dynamic” one. Dynamic verbs are classified into “Transitory” and “Constant” groups. Transitory verbs are also categorized into “Transitory- Contraction” and “Persistent” ones. The transitory verbs are characterized in “Transitory- Contraction” (e. g. to cough) and “Proceeding- Transitory” forms so the latter، in turn، may be divided into two categories: “Proceeding-Transitory-Static” (e. g. to sit) and “Proceeding- Transitory- Perfect” (e. g. to bear/give birth). The Constant verbs are also found in two types: “Finite” (e. g. to tell) and “Infinite” (e. g. to talk). In combination with grammatical aspect، lexical aspect produces different symbolic but regular aspects so that regardless of considering them، these values will be interpreted as irregular and out of order
