VASQUEZ-GONZALEZ, Jorge Alberto. Aspect-perfect and imperfect traditional qualities. Analysis and inconsistency Abstract. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2017, n.29, pp.127-161. ISSN 0121-053X.  https://doi.org/10.19053/0121053x.n29.2017.5853.

Here, the Spanish grammatical aspect and its traditional qualities in perfect and imperfect verb forms are analyzed in order to expose a problem of conceptual inconsistency. Taking into account the Real Academia Española (RAE) normativity, there is a misperception in the aspectual distinction between the simple and compound tenses in Spanish, or in Latin, infectum and perfectum. After a proper understanding of the concept of participle, formed by the auxiliary to have, a different terminology is proposed to solve the problem: the terms continuous and discontinuous are proposed as new qualities of the grammatical aspect. Such a change would also suggest a new verbal accident: that of state. An explanatory methodology was implemented in this project, in order to specify the concept of aspect in the field of the Spanish language. To a lesser degree, a descriptive methodology was also used, by means of the presentation of specific, insightful examples to support the current concept of aspect.

Palabras clave : Participle; Tense; Grammatical Aspect; Perfect; Imperfect; State.
