Can anyone tell me what the technical, grammatical term "thmes" means in
French? I've guessed that it refers to the [verb] stem?
For some context:
Ruijgh rejects not only aspect ("nous prfrons limiter l'emploi du terme
d'aspect la description du verbe slave" [we prefer to limit the use of
the term of aspect to the description of the Slavic verb]) but also a
timeless view of the verb ("Nous ne sommes pas d'accord avec ceux qui
prtendent que les >>>thmes<<< en question n'expriment pas le temps mais
l'aspect, la vision subjective du locuteur" [We are not in agreement with
those who pretend that the (Greek verb) >>>stems<<< in question do not
express time but aspect, the subjective view of the speaker]). ("Les
Valeurs Temporelles des Formes Verbales en Grec Ancien," TFT, 205)
Thanks,
Rod
