In this paper we analyze, from a pragmatic-semantic perspective, the interaction between the speakers’ selection of lexical aspect (Aktionsart) and grammatical aspect to express their temporal representation of the events observed in a sequence of videos. Our study draws on the assumptions that speakers’ choices are the result of a “thinking for speaking” process (Slobin 1997, 2003:167), and that their organization of perceptions follows a hierarchical order, as proposed by Zack in his Theory of Event Segmentation (Zacks 2001, 2007; Tversky et al 2008). We also follow París’ pragmatic-semantic approach (París 2007) and assume that the lexical aspect or Aktionsart is determined by the intrinsic semantic properties of each verb prior to any c...
