Symposium: New approaches to the study on the aspectual verbal auxiliary “teiru” in Japanese: A contribution of Japanese linguistics to the general linguistics

Studies of aspect in Japanese linguistics have mostly been focused on “teiru” form. Attention on this topic so far has mainly been paid to studies characterizing “teiru” from the viewpoint of the opposition between “suru” (perfective) and “teiru” (imperfective), whose achievement is Kudo (1995). However, her conclusions have not fully investigated yet and there remain many points to be discussed in the study of aspect. In this symposium, we propose some new approaches to “teiru” and discuss their contribution to the general linguistics.
