Abstract
This paper investigates the role of the verbal prefix ex- as a component in Latin aspect. The author provides definitions of “aspect”, “Aktionsart” and “situation type”, and particularly sets light to the term “telicity”, distinguishing between the “inherent telicity” and “maximal telicity”. Based on a meticulous examination of all occurrences of the indicative imperfect of verbs with the prefix ex- in a comprehensive corpus encompassing well-preserved Latin texts from Plautus to Ovid, the author verifies her hypothesis that the prefix ex- adds the notion of telicity to the verbs, and that the most common interpretation of their imperfects is the iterativity of telic events.
