本文通过探讨视点体不对谓词的情景体属性施加任何改变力的观点，论证了视点体的建构主义方法。该建议是通过分析的句法和语义的未完成体，这已被归因于一个强制性的作用，作为一个去telicizer和去静态化的进行体，并作为一个de-eventivizer在所谓的能力（或态度）和习惯性的阅读。本文提出了一个统一的语义的未完成体，保留整个派生的可能性的属性。本文认为，视点体的语义编码在一系列包含区间序谓词和量词的功能中心语中。这种更丰富的结构使我们能够解释更多的现象，例如在习惯结构中事件的个体实例的完成性，或者西班牙语中完成性成就的非最终阅读。本文假设非终极成就具有与完成体进行体相对应的潜在结构。结果，进行体从非连续性中解脱出来，得到了一种新的分析。建议的语法被认为有一个相应的明确的形态学的语言，如西班牙语和一个无差别的语言，如英语;然而，这两种语言的语法语义被认为是相同的。
This paper argues for a constructionist approach to viewpoint Aspect by exploring the idea that it does not exert any altering force on the situation-aspect properties of predicates. The proposal is developed by analyzing the syntax and semantics of the imperfective, which has been attributed a coercer role in the literature as a de-telicizer and de-stativizer in the progressive, and as a de-eventivizer in the so-called ability (or attitudinal) and habitual readings. This paper proposes a unified semantics for the imperfective, preserving the properties of eventualities throughout the derivation. The paper argues that the semantics of viewpoint aspect is encoded in a series of functional heads containing interval-ordering predicates and quantifiers. This richer structure allows us to account for a greater amount of phenomena, such as the perfective nature of the individual instantiations of the event within a habitual construction or the nonculminating reading of perfective accomplishments in Spanish. This paper hypothesizes that nonculminating accomplishments have an underlying structure corresponding to the perfective progressive. As a consequence, the progressive becomes disentangled from imperfectivity and is given a novel analysis. The proposed syntax is argued to have a corresponding explicit morphology in languages such as Spanish and a nondifferentiating one in languages such as English; however, the syntax-semantics underlying both of these languages is argued to be the same.
