      abstract = {This book presents a theoretical study on aspect in  Chinese, including both situation and viewpoint aspects.  Unlike previous studies, which have largely classified  linguistic units into different situation types, this study  defines a set of ontological event types that are  conceptually universal and on the basis of which different  languages employ various linguistic devices to describe  such events. To do so, it focuses on a particular component  of events, namely the viewpoint aspect. It includes and  discusses a wealth of examples to show how such ontological  events are realized in Chinese. In addition, the study  discusses how Chinese modal verbs and adverbs affect the  distribution of viewpoint aspects associated with certain  situation types. In turn, the book demonstrates how the  proposed linguistic theory can be used in a computational  context. Simply identifying events in terms of the verbs  and their arguments is insufficient for real situations  such as understanding the factivity and the  logical/temporal relations between events. The proposed  framework offers the possibility of analyzing events in  Chinese text, yielding deep semantic information.},
