This paper offers a critical theoretical review of the categories of individual and stage and the different approaches that have been given to both categories from different areas of grammar. Then, a formal analysis of the two types of preaching is proposed from the perspective of the aspectual information of the predicates from the information they consist of when leaving the lexicon, to conclude that the «lexical coercion» is an aspectual coercion that would insert an aspect syntagma with a spatio-temporal variable, interfering with the functional structure of the referential structures of preaching.
