Description We have argued that in order to understand the Aspectual semantics and the morphology-semantics mapping in the Aspectual domain, we must also take into account the presuppositional content of the Aspectual morphology. We have established that the denotation of Perfective and Imperfective in the Slavic and Romance languages may be identical but the usage of the Aspectual morphology differs because of distinct presuppositions associated with the morphology in these languages.
