21 Tsankova A. D. | Quantitative Survey on the Correlation of Basic Factors for the Functioning... from that, we may observe that the factor “end of discourse”, retains its significance as in the first model for 了 2 with non-dynamic predicates. II. Variation analysis of the marker 过 The marker 过 , like the marker 了 , belongs to the perfective aspectual zone, its core aspectual meaning is to denote experiential event. In certain contextual conditions this basic semantic component can be neutralized, and thus 过 may also express the standard perfective meaning of “completed event in the past” and thus be interchangeable with the more common marker 了 . The prototype experiential meaning of the marker in some cases may be expressed by other, lexical or contextual means. In such conditions its explication appears to be grammatically optional. Therefore, the scope of variation in the usage of the marker is substantial. In conveying the multiple factor analysis for the variation of 过 , like the analyses of the marker 了 , different combinations of the factor variables were tested, and resultantly a representative model with a relatively high degree of multiple correlation was defined.
