"text": "We present in this article, as a part of aspectual operation system, a generation system of iterative expressions using a set of operators called iterative operators. In order to execute the iterative operations efficiently, we have classified previously propositions denoting a single occurrence of a single event into three groupes. The definition of a single event is given recursively. The classification has been carried out especially in consideration of the duratire / non-durative character of the denoted events and also in consideration of existence / non-existence of a culmination point (or a boundary) in the events. The operations concerned with iteration have either the effect of giving a boundary to an event ( in the case of a non-bounded event) or of extending an event through repetitions. The operators concerned are: N,F .. direct iterative operators; I,G .. boundary giving operators; I .. extending operator.", |
