Rivero, María Luisa. 2023. Epistemic futures and aspect: A cross-linguistic perspective. Verb and Context: The impact of shared knowledge on TAME categories, Rodríguez Rosique, Susana and Jordi M. Antolí Martínez (eds.), pp. 231–262

A comparative study of futures in Bulgarian and Slovenian, Turkish and Iranian Azeri, Hindi-Urdu, and Spanish. It argues that future morphology encodes a modal category FUT without inherent temporality. Temporal Orientation derives from Viewpoint Aspect categories embedded under FUT, which may… read more | Chapter

Rivero, María Luisa, Ana Arregui and Nikolay Slavkov. 2017. The grammaticalization of ‘big’ situations: The IMPF operator and perfective imperfects in Bulgarian. Boundaries, Phases and Interfaces: Case studies in honor of Violeta Demonte, Fernández-Soriano, Olga, Elena Castroviejo Miró and Isabel Pérez-Jiménez (eds.), pp. 151–172

Assuming that syntax and morphology constraints can target ‘situation size’ in semantics, this paper argues for the necessity of constraints on ‘big’ situations, and for their grammaticalization. Data from Bulgarian indicate that complex (viewpoint) aspectual interactions between Perfective verbs… read more | Chapter

Rivero, María Luisa and Milena Milojević Sheppard. 2016. The Slovenian future auxiliary biti as a tenseless gradable evidential modal: Inferential and concessive readings. Formal Studies in Slovenian Syntax: In honor of Janez Orešnik, Marušič, Franc Lanko and Rok Žaucer (eds.), pp. 253–282

Adopting a general perspective inspired by formal semantics -most prominently Kratzer’s ideas on modals-, this paper argues that the Slovenian future auxiliary biti may function as an epistemic modal with evidential characteristics. In its epistemic capacity, biti is a Zero-tense/tenseless modal… read more | Article

Rivero, María Luisa and Constanta Rodica Diaconescu. 2009. A diachronic view of Psychological verbs with Dative Experiencers in Spanish and Romanian. Historical Linguistics 2007: Selected papers from the 18th International Conference on Historical Linguistics, Montreal, 6–11 August 2007, Dufresne, Monique, Fernande Dupuis and Etleva Vocaj (eds.), pp. 149–160

We offer a diachronic view of Spanish/Romanian Psychological constructions with Dative Experiencers, which are not always stative. Spanish constructions with Dative Experiencers can be telic, with an aspectual reflexive, or stative, without reflexive. The contrast exists in the earliest documents,… read more | Article

Rivero, María Luisa. 1976. William of Sherwood on Composition and Division: A Linguistic Study. Historiographia Linguistica 3:1, pp. 17–36

This article presents a linguistic study of the views of the terminist logician William of Sherwood (c.1200-c.1266) on the six sources of fallacies based on language, and it concentrates in particular on his theories on Composition and Division. William of Sherwood distinguished three levels of… read more | Article

This article presents a linguistic study of a number of 12th-century logical tracts with respect to their views on fallacies of composition and division. It will be seen that early Scholastic work done in this area was greatly influenced by certain syntactic properties of Latin. The correlation… read more | Article
