Why Plain Futurates are Different
In English, simple present (plain) and present progressive constructions can make reference to the future, in constructions known as futurates. In previous literature, these two types of futurate have often been discussed separately or treated as more or less equivalent. This squib argues that they convey different meanings: plain futurates presuppose the existence of a schedule, while progressive futurates do not. We propose a formal definition …
Nobody's Perfect
This paper challenges the cross-linguistic validity of the tense-aspect category 'perfect' by investigating 15 languages from eight different families (Atayal, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, English, German, Gitksan, Japanese, Javanese, Korean, Mandarin, Niuean, Québec French, St'át'imcets, Swahili, and Tibetan). The methodology involves using the storyboard 'Miss Smith's Bad Day' to test for the availability of experiential, resultative, recent-pa…
How To Distribute Events: ʔayʔaǰuθəm Pluractionals
In this paper, we discuss two types of plural marking, C1C2 reduplication and a -Vg- affix, on verbs in ʔayʔaǰuθəm (Comox-Sliammon), a Central Salish language. We argue that C1C2 plural reduplication on verbs indicates pluractionality, creating a predicate that encodes a plurality of spatiotemporally distributed events. We further argue that the distribution of events must be in both time and space. This has implications for the typology of plura…
