Streitberg W. Perfektive und imperfektive Aktionsart im Germanischen

Streitberg, W : Perfektive und imperfektive Aktionsart im Germanischen. In : Beiträge zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und Literatur 15 (1891), pp. 70 - 177.Streitberg’s influential, if controversial paper claimed the existence of slavic type aspect in Gothic and other Germanic languages. Read together with papers arguing to the contrary (e.g. Ю.С. Маслов: Категория предельности / непредельности глагольного действия в готском языке // Вопр. языкознания. 1959. N 5.), it has remained relevant for methodological considerations in aspectology, as in, e.g., Lloyd Albert L: Anatomy of the Verb: The Gothic Verb as a Model for a Unified Theory of Aspect, Actional Types, and Verbal Velocity. John Benjamins Publishing Company, 1979.
