ON THE INTERACTION OF PERFECT AND ASPECT IN LITHUANIAN

Summary

This paper is concerned with the range of meanings of perfect forms determined by the aspect­ual (perfective and imperfective) value of the verb and with the relation of the meanings of perfect forms to the meanings of aspects in Lithuanian. Perfect forms „būti ‘be’ + past participle active” can render the perfect meaning proper of a previous situation with continuing relevance and the resultative meaning of a state of the deep subject resulting from a previous situation. Aspect is the major factor determining the perfect or resultative use of perfect forms. The resultative mean­ing can be rendered by the perfect form of perfective verbs exclusively, the perfect meaning being rendered by the said form of verbs of either aspect. In the perfect use, a verb retains its aspectual value. In the resultative use a verb changes its perfective value to imperfective and therefore it can function as a substitute for a missing imperfective verb in an aspect opposition.

The invariant perfect meaning has a number of variants largely determined by the aspectual value of the base verb.
