本文对法语和英语进行了体位变换分析。由in或for引入的进行状语、完成/部分状语和持续状语被解释为修饰可能性描述的方面操作符。法语过去式对时态很敏感，但不改变可能性描述本身的时态类。相反，它们假定它们所操作的可能性描述具有正确的方面类型：Passee Simple和Imparfait是分别定位过去的事件和状态的时态操作符。为了满足方面和时间操作符的方面要求，可以通过强制触发自由的方面转换。该分析是在话语表征理论（DRT）的框架内进行的。
This paper develops an analysis of aspect shift and applies it to French and English. The Progressive, the Perfect/Parfait, and duration adverbials introduced by in or for are interpreted as aspectual operators which modify eventuality descriptions. The French past tenses are sensitive to aspect, but they do not change the aspectual class of the eventuality description themselves. Instead, they presuppose that the eventuality description they operate on is of the right aspectual type: the Passee Simple and Imparfait are tense operators which locate respectively events and states in the past. Free aspectual transitions may be triggered by coercion in order to satisfy the aspectual requirements on aspectual and temporal operators. The analysis is formulated within the framework of Discourse Representation Theory (DRT).
