+\summary{
+	The problem with the Niphal and Hitpael stems is both
+	(a) \term{internal overlap},
+		that each stem covers more than one functional area (passive, middle and reflexive), and
+	(b) \term{external overlap},
+		that the functions of the two stems overlap with each other\pagenr{102}.
+}
+
+\summary{
+	Benton takes from Keenan (1985) the idea that when a language has multiple passives,
+	they are distinguished by \term{aspect}\pagenr{102}.
+	\criticism{
+		he then takes from later linguists new views on aspect\pagenr{104--5},
+		and applies Keenan's theory using those ideas about aspect.
+		It is unclear if Keenan's theory applies to those new ideas.
+	}
+	Linguists distinguish different kinds of aspect:
+		\term{viewpoint aspect},
+			where a full or partial view of a situation is presented;
+		\term{situation aspect},
+			which presents features of a situation.
+	Different kinds of situation aspect can be categorised by the features
+		static--dynamic, durative--instantaneous and telic--atelic.
+	Based on Pustejovsky, different types of events can be depicted in diagrams\pagenr{108--9}
+		(see \autoref{fig:situation-transitions}).
