Sažetak
This thesis presents a framework for the analysis of aspect, which consists of two basic interconnected but distinct subsystems. One subsystem concerns situation types, generally corresponding to aspectual notions such as states, activities, accomplishments etc., while the other subsystem concerns grammatical, or viewpoint, aspect. The value of the first subsystem serves as the input for the second subsystem. This framework is applied to the comparative study of syntactic and semantic characteristics of English and Croatian phase verbs, their complements and the sentences containing them. The verbs analyzed are 'start', 'continue' and 'stop', together with their Croatian equivalents, 'početi/počinjati', 'nastaviti/nastavljati' and 'prestati/prestajati'. The analysis is based on sentences containing phase verbs taken from the English Web corpus 2020 (enTenTen20) and the Croatian Web corpus (hrWaC).
