This study develops an analysis of three aspects in siSwati, a southern African Bantu language spoken in Swaziland and South Africa: PERSISTIVE aspect, encoded by the aspect marker sa, ALTERATIVE aspect, encoded by se and INCEPTIVE aspect encoded by be. A distinctive characteristic of two of the aspects is that they link two separate time periods and so they have been described as dualtime period aspects. One is the PERSISTIVE which is an aspect already welldocumented and studied crosslinguistically in the Bantu languages and other groups and the other is analysed as the ALTERATIVE which is a new term the author has applied to an aspect not formerly recognised in linguistic studies. This thesis has wider significance for crosslinguistic recognition of dualtime period aspects, which have so far been largely associated with the PERFECT but is a more wide spread quality of natural language aspect systems.
