The analysis highlights a few important facts. Firstly, these markers, which typically follow the main verb within the verbal complex, derive from lexical verbs which are still in use in Burmese. This is an important descriptive factor, since the function of these markers can only be fully understood by looking at the interplay between the semantics of their lexical sources and the semantics of the verbs they modify. Secondly, it is the semantics of the aspectual markers that determines both their order vis-à-vis the main verb and their order vis-à-vis the other markers within the verbal complex. The interplay between the semantics and the syntax of these markers is analysed by adopting Role and Reference Grammar. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/slcs.96.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027231079.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027231079.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/slcs.96.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/slcs.96.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/slcs.96.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/slcs.96.hb.png 01 01 JB code slcs.96.01ack 06 10.1075/slcs.96.01ack xi xii 2 Miscellaneous 1 01 04 Acknowledgements Acknowledgements 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.96.02lis 06 10.1075/slcs.96.02lis xiii xiii 1 Miscellaneous 2 01 04 List of abbreviations List of abbreviations 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.96.03fig 06 10.1075/slcs.96.03fig xv xv 1 Miscellaneous 3 01 04 Figures and tables Figures and tables 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.96.04cha 06 10.1075/slcs.96.04cha 1 8 8 Chapter 4 01 04 Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 1: Introduction 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.96.05par 06 10.1075/slcs.96.05par 9 9 1 Section header 5 01 04 Part I.
