  abstract              = {This dissertation presents an analysis of aspect in Bonggi within the framework of Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). Bonggi is a Western Austronesian language of Sabah, Malaysia. The morphology of Bonggi distinguishes situation types: states, achievements, activities, and accomplishments. Because these four situation types are the starting point for a RRG grammatical analysis, there is a reciprocal harmony between the RRG model and Bonggi. Bonggi verbs are classified semantically according to the relationships which exist between predicates and their arguments. These relationships are described in terms of logical structures which are linked to the verb morphology by a series of rules including the assignment of thematic relations, semantic macroroles, syntactic functions, case, and verbal cross-referencing. Each situation type has a unique set of inherent aspectual properties (Aktionsart) which are reflected in the logical structures by predicates and a small set of operators such as scBECOME and scCAUSE. The model highlights the distinction between Aktionsart and viewpoint aspect by treating viewpoint aspect as an operator. Whereas Aktionsart properties are determined from the logical structures in a constituent projection that accounts for argument structure, the assignment of viewpoint aspect belongs to an operator projection which includes viewpoint aspect, tense, modality, negation, and illocutionary force. Unlike Aktionsart which is determined from the logical structure, viewpoint aspect is independent of the logical structure. Although each situation type has a unique logical structure and a unique set of Aktionsart properties, the same situation can be presented from different viewpoints. That is, the inherent Aktionsart properties do not change with a change in viewpoint aspect. Viewpoint aspect in Bonggi is formally expressed in (1) the verb morphology, (2) a system of free form auxiliaries, (3) a system of enclitic particles, and (4) a system of temporal adverbs. Although aspect, tense, and modality all belong to the operator projection, they modify different layers of the clause. For example, viewpoint aspect is an operator modifying the clause nucleus. This model not only provides a framework for treating aspect independently of modality and tense but also for treating the interrelationship of aspect with modality, tense, and other verbal categories.},
