Реорганизация видовых парадигм и утрата оппозиции неитеративности–итеративности в русском языке
The reorganization of aspect paradigms and the loss of the opposition non-iterativity/iterativity in russian

Summary/Abstract: The reorganization of the aspect system of Russian is investigated in the framework of the theory of natural grammar. It is claimed that the grammatical changes in morphological systems of natural languages are determined by a limited number of markedness principles (or naturalness principles, or preference principles). These typologically relevant principles are considerated as the grammatical laws of change. They determine the direction of morphologically-induced changes. These principles explain the attested diachrony of grammatical changes in the aspect system of Russian and in the area of interaction between aspectuality and iterativity.
