Abstract:
For speakers of tense-prominent languages, the aspect-prominent character of the Biblical Hebrew verbal system is especially manifest in the description of repeated past processes because these are frequently phrased through forms of the imperfective inversion pair (Inversionspaar). However, this does not apply to counted repetitions which, according to their verbal representation, are assigned to the perfective aspect. Yet counted repetitions form only a particularly explicit special case of boundedness: As comparisons with temporarily bounded repetitions demonstrate, it is the boundedness (or definiteness) as such that constitutes the perfectivity.
