Motivated by a systematic representation of the Chinese aspect forms that explores their intrinsic semantics and temporal logical relations, we are constructing a Chinese aspect system network based on systemic functional grammar and implemented using the multilingual generator KPML. In this paper, we introduce the basic simple primary aspect forms and a set of secondary types of the unmarked-durative aspect in our Chinese aspect system, describe the semantic temporal relations of complex aspect in terms of temporal logic theories, and propose principled semantic conditions for aspect combination. Finally, we give a brief explanation of the system implementation.
