Abstract: There are two aspect markers,which are “gonɡde N（羾得N）”and “zai N（在N）”in Xiangtan dialect.“Gonɡ（羾）” and “zai（在）”can be used as verbs and prepositions.The former which highlights the dynamic context,can only access the object of location and does not take time object.The latter is opposite.Both “ɡonɡde N（羾得N）” and “zai N（在N）”are quasi-aspect markers.The former can only be located in the syntactic configuration before the verb structure,meaning the progressive in semantic,and is used for casual occasions in pragmatic function with low level of grammaticalization;the latter can be located before or after the verb,meaning the progressive and continuous with less limited pragmatic function and slightly higher degree of grammaticalization.

Key words: Xiangtan dialect, aspect markers, &ldquo, ɡonɡde N（羾得N）&rdquo, &ldquo, zai N（在N）&rdquo
