Summary/Abstract: The article represents Laura Yanda’s aspectological conception. Her conclusions prove that each polisemantic verb may be an aspect cluster. Reflections on this scholar’s ideas about the ma- terial of imperfective genre pairs leads us to the conclusion that every polysemous verb is potentially a genre cluster. An aspectual cluster consists of two segments: genre and action. The aspect segment has three main manifestations, the specificity of which makes it possible to distinguish four types of clusters. The first is a polycategorical cluster as an integration of imperfectives-correlative and imperfectives-isolative. Second, a polyprefix cluster as an integration of imperfectives-correlative and multi-prefix perfective-correlative. The third is a bi-imperfective cluster as an integration of non-pre- fixed and prefixed imperfective-correlatives with a common perfective-correlative (traditional species triplets). Type four is a combined cluster as an integration of two or more of the above clusters. The action segment of an aspectual cluster is represented by a combination of at least three lexical-semantic variants: one imperfective and two or more perfectives belonging to different actional subclasses.
