- Abstract
- The article discusses the "hybrid" forms of the Spanish verb, which are combinations of the perfect (aorist and perfect) and imperfect (progressive) gramme from the point of view of actional characteristics of verbal lexemes, with the highest frequency realized in these forms. A number of hypotheses regarding the interaction of the actionality of the verb, on the one hand, and the combination of perfective and imperfect aspectual grammes within the view-temporal form, on the other, are put forward and during the analysis of the material extracted from the Corpus of the Spanish Language by Mark Davis. A hypothesis is formulated about the possible predominance of the pragmatic-communicative orientation of the aspectual opposition "progressive / non-progressive" in the Spanish language. The question of the method of determining the actionality of the verb and the resulting list of actional classes is touched upon.
