Is aspectual classification of nouns possible?

Abstract

A semantic classification of (Russian) nouns is proposed which corresponds to the verbal classification used in (Slavic) aspectological studies. This classification specifies the stability of a corresponding object with respect to the time axis. One interesting result of it ( discussed in detail) is that it predicts the semantic interpretation of attributive constructions with the Russian "inner-temporal" adjective STARY] 'old': this interpretation directly depends on the semantic class the noun belongs to. Thereby, in a sense, one can speak about aspectual types of Russian nouns
