 note = {The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate that for the proper analysis of the combination of two Japanese verbs, (1) V + V combination such as hasiri-dasu (run-begin) "to begin to run, " and (2) V1 + te + V2 combination such as hasiri-te ( > hasit-te) -iru (run-be ing/run-have en) "to be running/to have run, " it is essential to regard the first verb in the conjunctive form as a Base Verb or BV and then classify the second verb of this combination as an Aspectual Affix, or AA which behaves as a verbal element that adds an aspectual meaning to the preceding BV (= V1) which expresses the core lexical meaning" of the V1 - te- V2 verbal construction. The construction I am going to deal with is V1 + te + V2 combination, where such V2 functions as an aspectual affix and can therefore be labeled as AA namely an aspectual affix. This construction behaves like a single unit and is distinguished from V1 + te + V2 combination where V2 is regard-ed as a full verb. There is good evidence to support my claim., The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate that for the proper analysis of the combination of two Japanese verbs, (1) V + V combination such as hasiri-dasu (run-begin) "to begin to run, " and (2) V1 + te + V2 combination such as hasiri-te ( > hasit-te) -iru (run-be ing/run-have en) "to be running/to have run, " it is essential to regard the first verb in the conjunctive form as a Base Verb or BV and then classify the second verb of this combination as an Aspectual Affix, or AA which behaves as a verbal element that adds an aspectual meaning to the preceding BV (= V1) which expresses the core lexical meaning" of the V1 - te- V2 verbal construction.
