Abstract

It is necessary to imply the unity of the temporal and spatial segments of the perceived situation and perception situation, only in this case can we assume its observability. Present Continuous expresses the relevance of the temporal segment on the time axis. It expresses the action which is actual and relevant to speech moment.  Present Continuous is able to imply a perception situation provided the time and place unity. If there is a spatial disunity of the speaker / observer and the participants of the other situation, their mutual observability is excluded. If the condition of spatial unity is not observed, only the value of temporal synchronization is realized. It turns out that the autonomous use of Present Continuous does not always imply a situation of perception. The crucial role belongs to the context. If the speaker and participants of another simultaneous situation are separated spatially, they can’t observe each other.

Key words: imperfect, perceptivity, synchronicity, unity of the spatial segment.
