This paper provides an overview of the aspectual organization of Ersu (southern Qiangic, Tibeto-Burman), as spoken in Zela Township in Ganluo County (Sichuan, China). It uses data collected using tense-mood-aspect questionnaires in combination with traditional narratives. In contrast to previous descriptions (Sun 1982, 1983; Liu 1983; Zhang 2013), we argue for a system in which the basic distinction between perfective and imperfective aspect is expressed by lexical-derivational means: verbal stems and directional prefixes. Other aspectual distinctions (including experiential, change of state, progressive, continuous) are encoded grammatically (verbal particles). For most particles, the expression of aspect is tightly interwoven with evidentiality. Through numerous illustrative examples, the paper provides a detailed description of the meaning and use of prefixed and unprefixed verb stems and aspectual and evidentiality particles.

本文通過語法問卷和長篇語料收集到的材料，以甘洛縣則拉鄉爾蘇話為例，對爾蘇語體貌系統的主要表達手段及其之間的關係進行了探討。本文確定了爾蘇語體系統的核心部分（即完整體與非完整體的對立）以詞彙和派生手段（動詞和動詞前綴）構成。本文指出爾蘇語較次要體的類型（如經驗體等）依靠語法形式手段（體貌標記）表達。本文發現爾蘇語大多數體標記兼表體與示證的意義。最後，本文分別介紹了體貌系統的主要表達手段和相關語料依據。
