Again the parameters "event time," "reference time,"

intersects event time in Hebrew verbs it can be argued that Hebrew verbs
represent aspect, though of a different nature than English aspect.
Rolf,
1. It might be helpful for the non-linguists if you gave a brief definition
of these terms, especially "deictic center".
2. With all due respect, and without commenting on your conclusions or the
logic of your reasoning, you cannot reasonably expect people to simply
accept
your conclusions when I have not seen in your remarks clarity on the basis
of your argument:
a. Where DOES reference time intersect event time?
b. What is the nature of your "aspect"? (and why don't you call it
something else to avoid confusion.
