      @sarahdoingthing languages use many ways aside from strict verbal morphology to express shades of action meaninghttps://twitter.com/sarahdoingthing/status/671845069255671808 …

      @pseudoerasmus but does anyone really claim it wasn't a perfectivity marker in old Saxon?

      @sarahdoingthing loss of prefix 'ge' in the OE verbal morphology (in simple past tense, in past participle) never implied loss perfect tense

      @sarahdoingthing compare "alea iacta est" with "the die is cast" and "Der Würfel ist geworfen"

      @sarahdoingthing the past participle in each case conveys more or less the same perfective aspect

      @sarahdoingthing one may argue the def. article 'the' reinforces the perfective aspect of 'cast', but then look at the German !

      @sarahdoingthing and "a brat strolling along the river was devoured by an ichthyosaurus"; even w/o def. art. sounds pretty perfective to me!

          @sarahdoingthing probably any linguistic 'decay' is 'compensated' by something, e.g., loss of case endings
