Could you provide these "different definitions" of aspect for the list? In
your view, what *is* the relationship between event time and reference time
grammaticalized by the verb forms?
Is it a relationship of precedence (a type of relative tense)?
Is it inclusion (the usual meaning of aspect)?
Is it overlap?
Is it phase (inceptive/nascent, final/completive, continuative, resumptive,
habitual)?
Does it involve iteration, stages, subintervals?
