A five-way aspectual classification system is defined on the basis of three aspectual features, making use of the concept of predicates as event structures. The aspectual value of a sentence can differ from that of its predicate due to the operation of aspectual functions. Sentential aspect is ultimately derived from the operation of various components of the sentence on the aspectual properties of the predicate. A system of twelve semantic features describing the core meaning of verbs provides a level of specificity that can distinguish different senses of verbs and could be used to predict their consequent syntactic and semantic behavior. The computational utility of these models will be tested on a working machine translation system.
