Hi Karl,
Sure some of the adverbs are infrequent, but their verbal restrictions
do still count against an aspect-prominent analysis. This combined with
the other features of the language I listed in another post to you
convinces me as to the validity of the tense-prominent position. But if
you go for aspect-prominent, every feature I raised has to be dealt
with. With the cooccuring features of the language I raised, I'm
personally more inclined to view the adverbial verbal distribution as
something more than happenstance, i.e. the distribution is expected if
the language is tense-prominent, but not predictable if aspect-prominent.
Regards,
David Kummerow.
