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?
something else to avoid confusion.
