Attian: Difference between revisions

=====Neutral=====

The '''neutral''', or sometimes '''gnomic''' or '''generic''', aspect ({{sc|gen, neu}}) is an Attian aspect which expresses general truths, [[w:aphorisms|aphorisms]] and empiric facts. The neutral or gnomic aspect stands in opposition with the episodic aspects which are defined for a certain time. Whilst the Attian neutral aspect is applicable to all tenses, it is most often used without a tense marker. Thus, it differs to the imperfective aspect, which can be expressed when the neutral aspect is coupled with an adverb denoting tense.

=====Stative and dynamic=====

The '''stative''' aspect ({{sc|stat}}) is an Attian aspect used on verbs to express a stative perspective of a verb, if any. The aspect marks verb with an inherent sort of property, sometimes permanent, nevertheless marking a state. Most statives are intransitive.  

The stative aspect is only distinguished in the active voice. In the mediopassive, it merges with the dynamic aspect.
