ABSTRACT
Verbal aspect subsumed under the category of non-duratives. Transformative verbs indicate a transition from one state to another (e.g. age, cool off, go blind), where the new state is often a negation of the old state: cool off=no longer be hot. ( also durative vs non-durative)

aspect
Term used in dialectology to denote the prevalence of varied linguistic traits in geographically neighboring areas; a convergence area arises when linguistic changes (in the sense of a wave theory of language change from the originating center of a difference to the periphery) appear to take place less and less generally or when the process of the wave-shaped dispersion gradually comes to an end.
