Each article is grounded in solid empirical knowledge. It offers an in-depth study of aspectual and temporal devices as manifested in many diverse and complex ways from a cross-linguistic perspective and seeks to contribute to our understanding of the domain under consideration and more broadly to linguistic typology and theoretical linguistics, especially the enunciative approach. The book gives readers access to a collection of data and is of particular interest to scholars working on aspectuality and temporality, on pragmatics, on areal linguistics and on typology. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/slcs.172.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027259370.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027259370.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/slcs.172.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/slcs.172.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/slcs.172.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/slcs.172.hb.png 01 01 JB code slcs.172.001loc 06 10.1075/slcs.172.001loc vii xii 6 Article 1 01 04 List of contributors List of contributors 01 01 JB code slcs.172.01gue 06 10.1075/slcs.172.01gue 1 24 24 Article 2 01 04 Introduction Introduction 1 A01 01 JB code 484257219 Zlatka Guentchéva Guentchéva, Zlatka Zlatka Guentchéva LACITO-CNRS – Université Paris 3 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s1 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s1 Section header 3 01 04 Part I.

Aspect hinges on three notions: events (in the aorist), states, and processes. One focus is the contrast between the perfect and the aorist. Bare aorist verb forms refer to events or to sequences of events with no reference to their internal phases. The perfect expresses internal relations between processes and clauses (anteriority, backgrounding, causal relations); it refers to transitional processes that have reached or not their final instant, expressing changes of states and resulting states. In future reference frames, the perfect expresses imminent change of states, or imminent completion of a process, and the speaker’s certainty about their projected occurrence. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.04gse 06 10.1075/slcs.172.04gse 109 130 22 Article 7 01 04 On the tense-aspect system of standard Thai* On the tense-aspect system of standard Thai* 1 A01 01 JB code 79257222 René Gsell Gsell, René René Gsell Université Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/79257222 01 eng 30 00 This article deals with the rich inventory of forms expressing various aspectual and temporal meanings in Standard Thai (or Siamese). The author examines a range of postverb auxiliaries which express the aspectuality (Aktionsart + aspect). As to tense markers, they are rather “temporal-modals” and therefore belong to the preverbal domain. It is argued that in Thai the grammatical tense is non-linear and that the aspectuality concerns either the duration or non duration of the process or its completion or incompletion with respect to the time of utterance. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.05pil 06 10.1075/slcs.172.05pil 131 170 40 Article 8 01 04 Dravidian conceptual basis for the Badaga "tenses" Dravidian conceptual basis for the Badaga “tenses” 1 A01 01 JB code 410257223 Christiane Pilot-Raichoor Pilot-Raichoor, Christiane Christiane Pilot-Raichoor LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/410257223 01 eng 30 00 Based on a detailed analysis of the uses of the Tense morphemes in Badaga, a minority South-Dravidian language, this article argues that ‘tense’, usually retained as a dominant category in Dravidian, does not fit to account for the range of actual uses. The Tense morphemes, which play a major role in the morphology of the finite and non-finite verb forms, encode values which cannot be reduced to a single category either tense, aspect or mood. A deeper analysis draws attention to the third term of the Dravidian reconstructed system of the so called ‘Tense’ morphemes: Past/Non-Past/Negative and gives evidence of an original cumulative encoding of tense-aspect-mood-polarity in these morphemes. The explanation comes from the historical grammaticalisation of Time into the verb. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.06rob 06 10.1075/slcs.172.06rob 171 230 60 Article 9 01 04 Tense and aspect in the verbal system of Wolof* Tense and aspect in the verbal system of Wolof* 1 A01 01 JB code 796257224 Stéphane Robert Robert, Stéphane Stéphane Robert CSPC, LLACAN, INALCO, CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/796257224 01 eng 30 00 Perfective aspect is the unmarked form of the Wolof verbal system. It is analyzed here as an aspectual by-product of the conjugation’s core meaning, induced by three different configurations: resulting state (Perfect), temporal presupposition (focusing conjugations), and a comprehensive view of the process (Null tense and Presentative). The primary conjugations enter into secondary oppositions by means of aspectual and temporal suffixes. Alongside the expected aspectual and temporal effects for the imperfective suffix, the Wolof aspectual system reveals a remarkable shift, conditioned by Aktionsarten, from a temporal to a modal meaning. The imperfective suffix has a predicative variant. These two variants are used to produce two distinct future tenses. They also combine to form imperfective compound conjugations referring to occasional events. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.07dun 06 10.1075/slcs.172.07dun 231 264 34 Article 10 01 04 Tense and aspect in Langi* Tense and aspect in Langi* 1 A01 01 JB code 158257225 Margaret Dunham Dunham, Margaret Margaret Dunham LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/158257225 01 eng 30 00 Langi, a Bantu language spoken in central Tanzania, has an intensely rich TAM system, combining both inherited Bantu and borrowed Bantu and non-Bantu structures. There are two main mechanisms called into play to express TAM. The first is agglutinating in nature, with inflected verbs which can contain up to 7 distinct elements, each with its own phonological, morphological, and cross-referencing specificities. The second is fragmenting in nature, with necessary argument and TAM markers being distributed over several elements. Moreover there is a wide array of possible combinations of and between the two, with word order, reduplication, tone and even intonation interacting. This article further seeks to demonstrate the importance of anchoring the study of TAM in texts. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.08que 06 10.1075/slcs.172.08que 265 294 30 Article 11 01 04 Aspect in Sikuani Aspect in Sikuani 1 A01 01 JB code 634257226 Francesc Queixalós Queixalós, Francesc Francesc Queixalós SEDYL-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/634257226 01 eng 30 00 In Sikuani (Guahiban, Orinoco) the only explicitly marked tense is future.

In Inuit, the time belongs to a limited inventory of necessary verbal morphemes, which are carriers of the person and number markers. The kind of action and the aspect are expressed by a flexible combination of numerous affixes. In the East-Greenlandic dialect, that which is grammaticalized is not a perfective vs. imperfective, or a complete vs. incomplete, opposition, but an effective vs. ineffective one (action with or without the desired result) whose effect partially overlaps with that of the other two. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.10nai 06 10.1075/slcs.172.10nai 325 354 30 Article 14 01 04 On interaction between external and internal markers in expressing aspect in Arabic dialect varieties On interaction between external and internal markers in expressing aspect in Arabic dialect varieties 1 A01 01 JB code 393257228 Samia Naïm Naïm, Samia Samia Naïm LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/393257228 01 eng 30 00 Themes, preverbs and particles partake in expressing aspectual notions. In this paper we will study the distribution of these markers and their grammatical and semantic compatibilities (when it is possible to retrace their etymology) with the two aspects inherent to the themes upon which the Arabic verbal system rests: the perfective and the imperfective. To what extent does the analysis of the affinities and incompatibilities between these external markers and the perfective and imperfective contribute to the definition of these very same notions? How to distinguish between constraints linked to verbal semantics (lexical aspect) and those which fall under one or the other of these two notions? This paper will also explore, from a crossdialectal and typological angle, which notions are encoded specifically and which belong to broader categories, so as to extrapolate the aspectual system dynamics in the dialects under study. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s4 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s4 Section header 15 01 04 Part IV.

Although the perfect has mainly the typical function of a resultative, it is to some extent compatible with definite markers of time. It also has a secondary metalinguistic function. The two tenses are in complementary distribution in narratives and discourse, and, rather than partially replacing the aorist, the perfect has its own development alongside the aorist which retains most of its original functions. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.12don 06 10.1075/slcs.172.12don 375 412 38 Article 17 01 04 The aorist in Modern Armenian The aorist in Modern Armenian 01 04 Core values and contextual meanings Core values and contextual meanings 1 A01 01 JB code 513257231 Anaid Donabedian Donabedian, Anaid Anaid Donabedian SeDyL, INALCO/USPC, CNRS UMR8202, IRD UMR135 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/513257231 01 eng 30 00 With a remarkably stable morphology since Classical Armenian, the aorist has a very special place in the TMA system of Modern Armenian: since all tenses need either a particle or an auxiliary to be actualized, the aorist is the only synthetic, self-actualized form. The aim of this paper is to account for the variety of contextual meanings that the Armenian aorist can display, refuting generalizations previously made by grammarians and typologists. Foregrounding enunciative criteria (following A. Culioli) rather than referential ones (durativity, temporal meaning, chaining of events, etc.), we identify three parameters able to explain the specificity of the aorist in Modern Armenian with regard to other tenses, and with regard to the aorist in other Indo-European languages. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.13mon 06 10.1075/slcs.172.13mon 413 446 34 Article 18 01 04 The verbal form V-a in Hindi/Urdu The verbal form V-ā in Hindi/Urdu 01 04 An aorist with "aoristic" meanings An aorist with “aoristic” meanings 1 A01 01 JB code 72257232 Annie Montaut Montaut, Annie Annie Montaut SEDYL UMR8202 (CNRS/INALCO/IRD) LABEX EFL 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/72257232 01 eng 30 00 Although the term aorist has not been frequently used in the various grammars of Hindi, and the current label for the simple past is now “perfective”, the simple form used for the narrative past has a unique position within the global TAM system, as well as in the indicative paradigm. It displays the standard meanings usually associated to the aorist, and some of its specific meanings can help better describe this linguistic category. Distinct both from the perfective and from the perfect, it conveys the aspectual and temporal meaning of an anterior event, of eventual, gnomic present, anticipation, treated in the study within a topological and enunciative frame. The historical evolution of the verbal paradigm partially accounts for its present form and function; it also explains why it has come to convey mirative meanings, rather than the perfect. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.14gal 06 10.1075/slcs.172.14gal 447 464 18 Article 19 01 04 The aorist in Berber The aorist in Berber 1 A01 01 JB code 481257233 Lionel Galand Galand, Lionel Lionel Galand 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/481257233 01 eng 30 00 The Berber verbal system is based on three tenses: aorist, perfective and imperfective. Historically, the latter is derived from the aorist and takes no part in the aspectual opposition. It is used either alone or with a particle. Alone, it only conveys the basic meaning of the verb, provided that the aspect is expressed by a verb, by the context, or by the situation. It can also take on a modal meaning. The use of a particle (often ad) explicitly endows it with this modal meaning and may render a future. Cross dialectal comparison shows that globally the aorist without a particle is in decline. With a particle, it is found in all dialects. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.15tai 06 10.1075/slcs.172.15tai 465 502 38 Article 20 01 04 The Aorist in Zenaga Berber and the Imperfective in two Arabic dialects The Aorist in Zenaga Berber and the Imperfective in two Arabic dialects 01 04 A comparative viewpoint A comparative viewpoint 1 A01 01 JB code 770257234 Catherine Taine-Cheikh Taine-Cheikh, Catherine Catherine Taine-Cheikh Lacito-Cnrs (Université Paris III) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/770257234 01 eng 30 00 In Berber studies, it is often considered – at least in French-speaking literature – that there is a specific verbal category named Aorist. This category is not supposed to exist in the Semitic family, which is also part of the Afro-Asiatic phylum. However, the Arabic prefixal conjugation shows important similarities with Berber Aorist in forms as well as uses. After studying the role of Aorist in the Berber time-aspect-mood (TAM) system and, in particular, in the Zenaga Berber of Mauritania, we will compare it with the role of prefixal conjugation in Arabic. We will show that similarities are more or less strong. Similarities are important with a Bedouin variety such as Ḥassāniyya Arabic, which doesn’t have a modal form. And similarities are even more important in a more evolved variety such as Morrocan Arabic. Indeed, in Morrocan Arabic, the use of prefixal conjugation without preverbs tends to be limited to non-referential propositions. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s5 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s5 Section header 21 01 04 Part V.

The semantic properties of the two adjectival forms show their contrast. According to our analysis, they express at least two different values of the aspectual notion “state”. We will argue that the verbal adjectives in -tos express a descriptive state of inherent properties opposed in a generic descriptive state. We can conclude that in Modern Greek the verbal adjectives lend themselves to a refinement of the value of state. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.17cho 06 10.1075/slcs.172.17cho 525 562 38 Article 23 01 04 Resultative Interpretation of Predicates in Korean* Resultative Interpretation of Predicates in Korean* 1 A01 01 JB code 754257236 Injoo Choi-Jonin Choi-Jonin, Injoo Injoo Choi-Jonin University of Toulouse-Le Mirail & LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/754257236 01 eng 30 00 This paper deals with the two Korean periphrastic constructions yielding a resultative interpretation of their preceding predicate, namely -a/e iss- and -ko iss- constructions. After re-examining the assumption on the distribution of the two constructions explained by argument structures, it will be argued that, on the one hand, the distinction between unergative and unaccusative verbs need not be taken into account, insofar as it does not seem relevant in Korean, and, on the other hand, the resultative interpretation of Korean predicates derives from the combination between the argument structure of the verb iss- (‘exist’), the semantic structure of the preceding verb, and the way the connective markers a/e and -ko link two verbs. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.18dim 06 10.1075/slcs.172.18dim 563 596 34 Article 24 01 04 On two types of result On two types of result 01 04 Resultatives revisited* Resultatives revisited* 1 A01 01 JB code 3257237 Mila Dimitrova-Vulchanova Dimitrova-Vulchanova, Mila Mila Dimitrova-Vulchanova The Norwegian University of Science and Technology 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/3257237 01 eng 30 00 Until recently, the accepted view in work addressing the relationship between lexical semantics and syntax was that lexical verbs uniquely determine the properties of the structures they project in syntax. On a popular recent view, form-meaning pairs above the level of the word are an integral part of the design of language. This line of research can be described as the continuum view of the lexicon where the generation component of language stores both lexical information and information about the grammar repertoire. Such a view is aligned with connectionist views of the lexicon, where lexicon and grammar are seen as interdependent. In this paper I discuss an elaboration of the continuum stance. I claim that, even though grammar and lexicon can be seen as part of the same distributed representation, languages make a distinction between generation mechanisms based on lexically encoded information and constrtuctionally-based generation. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s6 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s6 Section header 25 01 04 Part VI.

Binnick Binnick, Robert I. Robert I. Binnick University of Toronto 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/518257238 01 eng 30 00 The Mongolic languages have a complex system of finite and non-finite verb forms expressing tense and aspect. In particular, they have several morphological and morphosyntactic means of marking future eventualities. It has been questionable whether these languages possess the category of future tense and/or that of prospective aspect, and how the various markers are to be interpreted semantically, though their pragmatic interpretation in context has not for the most part been in question. This paper presents criteria for temporal and aspectual categories, based on the fundamental structure of the verbal system characteristic of Mongolic languages and examines the various devices used to express futurity in light of these criteria. It is concluded that neither future tense nor prospective aspect as such are semantic categories of the verb in most, if not all, Mongolic languages. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.20tou 06 10.1075/slcs.172.20tou 625 642 18 Article 27 01 04 The future tenses in the Tibetic languages The future tenses in the Tibetic languages 01 04 Diachronic and dialectal perspectives Diachronic and dialectal perspectives 1 A01 01 JB code 69257239 Nicolas Tournadre Tournadre, Nicolas Nicolas Tournadre Aix-Marseille Université – LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/69257239 01 eng 30 00 In this paper, I will present the various types of futures in the Tibetic languages and their relationship to other tenses, aspects and modalities. Tibetic languages constitute a compact family of languages derived from Old Tibetan spoken in six countries (China, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Myanmar). These languages usually have a wide range of “future tenses”. There is generally a distinction between Realis and Irrealis types of futures as well as a pervasive distinction between Intentional and non-Intentional Futures. Tibetic languages have a rich inventory of forms expressing various epistemic and evidential values in the context of future. Finally, I will examine a number of specific types of futures such as Benefactive, Warning or Autolalic futures which are found in some Tibetic languages. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.21vap 06 10.1075/slcs.172.21vap 643 678 36 Article 28 01 04 No escape from the future No escape from the future 01 04 Temporal frames and prediction in Yucatec Maya* Temporal frames and prediction in Yucatec Maya* 1 A01 01 JB code 408257240 Valentina Vapnarsky Vapnarsky, Valentina Valentina Vapnarsky LESC /EREA (CNRS & Université paris OUest) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/408257240 01 eng 30 00 This article deals with debated questions on the semantics and cognition of temporality: the existence of tenseless languages, the cultural variability of the representation of the future and the plurality of temporal frames and its contextdependency. It explores the hypothesis that even in tenseless languages, inferences relative to temporal location may ultimately become conventionalized and encoded by grammatical markers. While futurity is generally taken as the least tensy of tenses, this hypothesis is proposed for a future marker in Yucatec Maya (bíin). Features of factuality, remoteness and dissociation from the contemporal domain are further analysed, and lead to a characterization of bíin as triggering a non-actualized temporal frame of reference, associated with the domain of predetermined events outside human control. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.22gue 06 10.1075/slcs.172.22gue 679 702 24 Article 29 01 04 The Bulgarian future in light of the temporal frames of reference The Bulgarian future in light of the temporal frames of reference 1 A01 01 JB code 831257241 Zlatka Guentchéva Guentchéva, Zlatka Zlatka Guentchéva LACITO-CNRS – Université Paris 3 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/831257241 01 eng 30 00 Considering the core meaning of the Bulgarian Future as presenting an action “posterior to the moment of speech”, many scholars explain its modal uses as derived by the context. In contrast with previous studies, we argue that future time reference is not symmetrical with the past and has a branching time structure giving rise to different temporal frames of reference. We show that the posteriority of a situation (aspectualized as a state, a process or an event) is understood as being posterior to a reference point situated in a not-actualized temporal reference frame. The Future in Bulgarian can therefore be described as posterior to the enunciative temporal reference T₀, or in relation to an indirect speech act or any other temporal reference providing a prospective view, whether in the past or ongoing. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s7 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s7 Section header 30 01 04 Part VII.

Kirtchuk-Halevi LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/290257242 01 eng 30 00 North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) displays two verbal paradigms: one whose subject is in the nominative and one whose subject is diachronically appended to the /l-/ (dative) preposition. Synchronically, this state of affairs can be interpreted as split-ergativity. Those paradigms stem from participial forms, nonperfect and perfect respectively. Since the difference is of aspect not diathesis, the perfect form can serve both as active or passive. The function it fulfills in each case is determined by use and construction, namely by pragmatics and syntax. Typology supports the dative rather than possessive interpretation of the paradigm II suffixes inasmuch as in many languages with ergative or split-ergative constructions, the ergative morpheme harkens back diachronically or is identical synchronically with the dative, instrumental &c., not with an originally genitive morpheme as such. These dynamic and functional explanations hopefully shed new light on synchronic data which until now seemeed contradictory, ambiguous and obscure. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.24lan 06 10.1075/slcs.172.24lan 727 728 2 Article 32 01 04 Language Index Language Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.172.25aut 06 10.1075/slcs.172.25aut 729 734 6 Article 33 01 04 Author Index Author Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.172.26sub 06 10.1075/slcs.172.26sub 735 740 6 Article 34 01 04 Subject Index Subject Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.172 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20160309 C 2016 John Benjamins D 2016 John Benjamins 02 WORLD WORLD US CA MX 09 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 21 10 10 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 105.00 EUR 02 00 Unqualified price 02 88.00 01 Z 0 GBP GB US CA MX 01 01 JB 2 John Benjamins Publishing Company +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 21 10 10 01 00 Unqualified price 02 JB 1 02 158.00 USD 620015816 03 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code SLCS 172 Eb 15 9789027267610 06 10.1075/slcs.172 13 2015042895 00 EA E107 10 01 JB code SLCS 02 0165-7763 02 172.00 01 02 Studies in Language Companion Series Studies in Language Companion Series 11 01 JB code jbe-all 01 02 Full EBA collection (ca. 4,200 titles) 11 01 JB code jbe-2016 01 02 2016 collection (147 titles) 05 02 2016 collection 01 01 Aspectuality and Temporality Descriptive and theoretical issues Aspectuality and Temporality: Descriptive and theoretical issues 1 B01 01 JB code 139220838 Zlatka Guentchéva Guentchéva, Zlatka Zlatka Guentchéva LACITO-CNRS – Université Paris 3 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/139220838 01 eng 11 751 03 03 xi 03 00 740 03 01 23 415/.63 03 2016 P281 04 Functionalism (Linguistics) 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Tense. 04 Grammar, Comparative and general--Aspect. 10 LAN009000 12 CFK 24 JB code LIN.SEMAN Semantics 24 JB code LIN.SYNTAX Syntax 24 JB code LIN.THEOR Theoretical linguistics 01 06 02 00 This volume brings together a collection of articles exploring tense and aspect phenomena in a variety of non-related languages. 03 00 This volume brings together a collection of articles exploring tense and aspect phenomena in a variety of non-related languages: Indo-European (Albanian, Bulgarian, Armenian, English, Norwegian, Hindi), Hamito-Semitic (Berber, Zenaga Berber, Arabic varieties, Neo-Aramaic), African (Wolof, Langi), Asian (Badaga, Korean, Mongolian languages – Khalkha, Buriat, Kalmuck – Thaï, Tibetic languages), Amerindian (Yucatec Maya, Sikuani), Greenlandic (Eskimo) and Oceanian (Nêlêmwa).

Aspect hinges on three notions: events (in the aorist), states, and processes. One focus is the contrast between the perfect and the aorist. Bare aorist verb forms refer to events or to sequences of events with no reference to their internal phases. The perfect expresses internal relations between processes and clauses (anteriority, backgrounding, causal relations); it refers to transitional processes that have reached or not their final instant, expressing changes of states and resulting states. In future reference frames, the perfect expresses imminent change of states, or imminent completion of a process, and the speaker’s certainty about their projected occurrence. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.04gse 06 10.1075/slcs.172.04gse 109 130 22 Article 7 01 04 On the tense-aspect system of standard Thai* On the tense-aspect system of standard Thai* 1 A01 01 JB code 79257222 René Gsell Gsell, René René Gsell Université Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/79257222 01 eng 30 00 This article deals with the rich inventory of forms expressing various aspectual and temporal meanings in Standard Thai (or Siamese). The author examines a range of postverb auxiliaries which express the aspectuality (Aktionsart + aspect). As to tense markers, they are rather “temporal-modals” and therefore belong to the preverbal domain. It is argued that in Thai the grammatical tense is non-linear and that the aspectuality concerns either the duration or non duration of the process or its completion or incompletion with respect to the time of utterance. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.05pil 06 10.1075/slcs.172.05pil 131 170 40 Article 8 01 04 Dravidian conceptual basis for the Badaga "tenses" Dravidian conceptual basis for the Badaga “tenses” 1 A01 01 JB code 410257223 Christiane Pilot-Raichoor Pilot-Raichoor, Christiane Christiane Pilot-Raichoor LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/410257223 01 eng 30 00 Based on a detailed analysis of the uses of the Tense morphemes in Badaga, a minority South-Dravidian language, this article argues that ‘tense’, usually retained as a dominant category in Dravidian, does not fit to account for the range of actual uses. The Tense morphemes, which play a major role in the morphology of the finite and non-finite verb forms, encode values which cannot be reduced to a single category either tense, aspect or mood. A deeper analysis draws attention to the third term of the Dravidian reconstructed system of the so called ‘Tense’ morphemes: Past/Non-Past/Negative and gives evidence of an original cumulative encoding of tense-aspect-mood-polarity in these morphemes. The explanation comes from the historical grammaticalisation of Time into the verb. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.06rob 06 10.1075/slcs.172.06rob 171 230 60 Article 9 01 04 Tense and aspect in the verbal system of Wolof* Tense and aspect in the verbal system of Wolof* 1 A01 01 JB code 796257224 Stéphane Robert Robert, Stéphane Stéphane Robert CSPC, LLACAN, INALCO, CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/796257224 01 eng 30 00 Perfective aspect is the unmarked form of the Wolof verbal system. It is analyzed here as an aspectual by-product of the conjugation’s core meaning, induced by three different configurations: resulting state (Perfect), temporal presupposition (focusing conjugations), and a comprehensive view of the process (Null tense and Presentative). The primary conjugations enter into secondary oppositions by means of aspectual and temporal suffixes. Alongside the expected aspectual and temporal effects for the imperfective suffix, the Wolof aspectual system reveals a remarkable shift, conditioned by Aktionsarten, from a temporal to a modal meaning. The imperfective suffix has a predicative variant. These two variants are used to produce two distinct future tenses. They also combine to form imperfective compound conjugations referring to occasional events. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.07dun 06 10.1075/slcs.172.07dun 231 264 34 Article 10 01 04 Tense and aspect in Langi* Tense and aspect in Langi* 1 A01 01 JB code 158257225 Margaret Dunham Dunham, Margaret Margaret Dunham LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/158257225 01 eng 30 00 Langi, a Bantu language spoken in central Tanzania, has an intensely rich TAM system, combining both inherited Bantu and borrowed Bantu and non-Bantu structures. There are two main mechanisms called into play to express TAM. The first is agglutinating in nature, with inflected verbs which can contain up to 7 distinct elements, each with its own phonological, morphological, and cross-referencing specificities. The second is fragmenting in nature, with necessary argument and TAM markers being distributed over several elements. Moreover there is a wide array of possible combinations of and between the two, with word order, reduplication, tone and even intonation interacting. This article further seeks to demonstrate the importance of anchoring the study of TAM in texts. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.08que 06 10.1075/slcs.172.08que 265 294 30 Article 11 01 04 Aspect in Sikuani Aspect in Sikuani 1 A01 01 JB code 634257226 Francesc Queixalós Queixalós, Francesc Francesc Queixalós SEDYL-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/634257226 01 eng 30 00 In Sikuani (Guahiban, Orinoco) the only explicitly marked tense is future.

In Inuit, the time belongs to a limited inventory of necessary verbal morphemes, which are carriers of the person and number markers. The kind of action and the aspect are expressed by a flexible combination of numerous affixes. In the East-Greenlandic dialect, that which is grammaticalized is not a perfective vs. imperfective, or a complete vs. incomplete, opposition, but an effective vs. ineffective one (action with or without the desired result) whose effect partially overlaps with that of the other two. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.10nai 06 10.1075/slcs.172.10nai 325 354 30 Article 14 01 04 On interaction between external and internal markers in expressing aspect in Arabic dialect varieties On interaction between external and internal markers in expressing aspect in Arabic dialect varieties 1 A01 01 JB code 393257228 Samia Naïm Naïm, Samia Samia Naïm LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/393257228 01 eng 30 00 Themes, preverbs and particles partake in expressing aspectual notions. In this paper we will study the distribution of these markers and their grammatical and semantic compatibilities (when it is possible to retrace their etymology) with the two aspects inherent to the themes upon which the Arabic verbal system rests: the perfective and the imperfective. To what extent does the analysis of the affinities and incompatibilities between these external markers and the perfective and imperfective contribute to the definition of these very same notions? How to distinguish between constraints linked to verbal semantics (lexical aspect) and those which fall under one or the other of these two notions? This paper will also explore, from a crossdialectal and typological angle, which notions are encoded specifically and which belong to broader categories, so as to extrapolate the aspectual system dynamics in the dialects under study. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s4 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s4 Section header 15 01 04 Part IV.

Although the perfect has mainly the typical function of a resultative, it is to some extent compatible with definite markers of time. It also has a secondary metalinguistic function. The two tenses are in complementary distribution in narratives and discourse, and, rather than partially replacing the aorist, the perfect has its own development alongside the aorist which retains most of its original functions. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.12don 06 10.1075/slcs.172.12don 375 412 38 Article 17 01 04 The aorist in Modern Armenian The aorist in Modern Armenian 01 04 Core values and contextual meanings Core values and contextual meanings 1 A01 01 JB code 513257231 Anaid Donabedian Donabedian, Anaid Anaid Donabedian SeDyL, INALCO/USPC, CNRS UMR8202, IRD UMR135 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/513257231 01 eng 30 00 With a remarkably stable morphology since Classical Armenian, the aorist has a very special place in the TMA system of Modern Armenian: since all tenses need either a particle or an auxiliary to be actualized, the aorist is the only synthetic, self-actualized form. The aim of this paper is to account for the variety of contextual meanings that the Armenian aorist can display, refuting generalizations previously made by grammarians and typologists. Foregrounding enunciative criteria (following A. Culioli) rather than referential ones (durativity, temporal meaning, chaining of events, etc.), we identify three parameters able to explain the specificity of the aorist in Modern Armenian with regard to other tenses, and with regard to the aorist in other Indo-European languages. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.13mon 06 10.1075/slcs.172.13mon 413 446 34 Article 18 01 04 The verbal form V-a in Hindi/Urdu The verbal form V-ā in Hindi/Urdu 01 04 An aorist with "aoristic" meanings An aorist with “aoristic” meanings 1 A01 01 JB code 72257232 Annie Montaut Montaut, Annie Annie Montaut SEDYL UMR8202 (CNRS/INALCO/IRD) LABEX EFL 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/72257232 01 eng 30 00 Although the term aorist has not been frequently used in the various grammars of Hindi, and the current label for the simple past is now “perfective”, the simple form used for the narrative past has a unique position within the global TAM system, as well as in the indicative paradigm. It displays the standard meanings usually associated to the aorist, and some of its specific meanings can help better describe this linguistic category. Distinct both from the perfective and from the perfect, it conveys the aspectual and temporal meaning of an anterior event, of eventual, gnomic present, anticipation, treated in the study within a topological and enunciative frame. The historical evolution of the verbal paradigm partially accounts for its present form and function; it also explains why it has come to convey mirative meanings, rather than the perfect. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.14gal 06 10.1075/slcs.172.14gal 447 464 18 Article 19 01 04 The aorist in Berber The aorist in Berber 1 A01 01 JB code 481257233 Lionel Galand Galand, Lionel Lionel Galand 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/481257233 01 eng 30 00 The Berber verbal system is based on three tenses: aorist, perfective and imperfective. Historically, the latter is derived from the aorist and takes no part in the aspectual opposition. It is used either alone or with a particle. Alone, it only conveys the basic meaning of the verb, provided that the aspect is expressed by a verb, by the context, or by the situation. It can also take on a modal meaning. The use of a particle (often ad) explicitly endows it with this modal meaning and may render a future. Cross dialectal comparison shows that globally the aorist without a particle is in decline. With a particle, it is found in all dialects. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.15tai 06 10.1075/slcs.172.15tai 465 502 38 Article 20 01 04 The Aorist in Zenaga Berber and the Imperfective in two Arabic dialects The Aorist in Zenaga Berber and the Imperfective in two Arabic dialects 01 04 A comparative viewpoint A comparative viewpoint 1 A01 01 JB code 770257234 Catherine Taine-Cheikh Taine-Cheikh, Catherine Catherine Taine-Cheikh Lacito-Cnrs (Université Paris III) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/770257234 01 eng 30 00 In Berber studies, it is often considered – at least in French-speaking literature – that there is a specific verbal category named Aorist. This category is not supposed to exist in the Semitic family, which is also part of the Afro-Asiatic phylum. However, the Arabic prefixal conjugation shows important similarities with Berber Aorist in forms as well as uses. After studying the role of Aorist in the Berber time-aspect-mood (TAM) system and, in particular, in the Zenaga Berber of Mauritania, we will compare it with the role of prefixal conjugation in Arabic. We will show that similarities are more or less strong. Similarities are important with a Bedouin variety such as Ḥassāniyya Arabic, which doesn’t have a modal form. And similarities are even more important in a more evolved variety such as Morrocan Arabic. Indeed, in Morrocan Arabic, the use of prefixal conjugation without preverbs tends to be limited to non-referential propositions. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s5 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s5 Section header 21 01 04 Part V.

The semantic properties of the two adjectival forms show their contrast. According to our analysis, they express at least two different values of the aspectual notion “state”. We will argue that the verbal adjectives in -tos express a descriptive state of inherent properties opposed in a generic descriptive state. We can conclude that in Modern Greek the verbal adjectives lend themselves to a refinement of the value of state. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.17cho 06 10.1075/slcs.172.17cho 525 562 38 Article 23 01 04 Resultative Interpretation of Predicates in Korean* Resultative Interpretation of Predicates in Korean* 1 A01 01 JB code 754257236 Injoo Choi-Jonin Choi-Jonin, Injoo Injoo Choi-Jonin University of Toulouse-Le Mirail & LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/754257236 01 eng 30 00 This paper deals with the two Korean periphrastic constructions yielding a resultative interpretation of their preceding predicate, namely -a/e iss- and -ko iss- constructions. After re-examining the assumption on the distribution of the two constructions explained by argument structures, it will be argued that, on the one hand, the distinction between unergative and unaccusative verbs need not be taken into account, insofar as it does not seem relevant in Korean, and, on the other hand, the resultative interpretation of Korean predicates derives from the combination between the argument structure of the verb iss- (‘exist’), the semantic structure of the preceding verb, and the way the connective markers a/e and -ko link two verbs. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.18dim 06 10.1075/slcs.172.18dim 563 596 34 Article 24 01 04 On two types of result On two types of result 01 04 Resultatives revisited* Resultatives revisited* 1 A01 01 JB code 3257237 Mila Dimitrova-Vulchanova Dimitrova-Vulchanova, Mila Mila Dimitrova-Vulchanova The Norwegian University of Science and Technology 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/3257237 01 eng 30 00 Until recently, the accepted view in work addressing the relationship between lexical semantics and syntax was that lexical verbs uniquely determine the properties of the structures they project in syntax. On a popular recent view, form-meaning pairs above the level of the word are an integral part of the design of language. This line of research can be described as the continuum view of the lexicon where the generation component of language stores both lexical information and information about the grammar repertoire. Such a view is aligned with connectionist views of the lexicon, where lexicon and grammar are seen as interdependent. In this paper I discuss an elaboration of the continuum stance. I claim that, even though grammar and lexicon can be seen as part of the same distributed representation, languages make a distinction between generation mechanisms based on lexically encoded information and constrtuctionally-based generation. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s6 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s6 Section header 25 01 04 Part VI.

Binnick Binnick, Robert I. Robert I. Binnick University of Toronto 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/518257238 01 eng 30 00 The Mongolic languages have a complex system of finite and non-finite verb forms expressing tense and aspect. In particular, they have several morphological and morphosyntactic means of marking future eventualities. It has been questionable whether these languages possess the category of future tense and/or that of prospective aspect, and how the various markers are to be interpreted semantically, though their pragmatic interpretation in context has not for the most part been in question. This paper presents criteria for temporal and aspectual categories, based on the fundamental structure of the verbal system characteristic of Mongolic languages and examines the various devices used to express futurity in light of these criteria. It is concluded that neither future tense nor prospective aspect as such are semantic categories of the verb in most, if not all, Mongolic languages. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.20tou 06 10.1075/slcs.172.20tou 625 642 18 Article 27 01 04 The future tenses in the Tibetic languages The future tenses in the Tibetic languages 01 04 Diachronic and dialectal perspectives Diachronic and dialectal perspectives 1 A01 01 JB code 69257239 Nicolas Tournadre Tournadre, Nicolas Nicolas Tournadre Aix-Marseille Université – LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/69257239 01 eng 30 00 In this paper, I will present the various types of futures in the Tibetic languages and their relationship to other tenses, aspects and modalities. Tibetic languages constitute a compact family of languages derived from Old Tibetan spoken in six countries (China, India, Bhutan, Nepal, Pakistan and Myanmar). These languages usually have a wide range of “future tenses”. There is generally a distinction between Realis and Irrealis types of futures as well as a pervasive distinction between Intentional and non-Intentional Futures. Tibetic languages have a rich inventory of forms expressing various epistemic and evidential values in the context of future. Finally, I will examine a number of specific types of futures such as Benefactive, Warning or Autolalic futures which are found in some Tibetic languages. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.21vap 06 10.1075/slcs.172.21vap 643 678 36 Article 28 01 04 No escape from the future No escape from the future 01 04 Temporal frames and prediction in Yucatec Maya* Temporal frames and prediction in Yucatec Maya* 1 A01 01 JB code 408257240 Valentina Vapnarsky Vapnarsky, Valentina Valentina Vapnarsky LESC /EREA (CNRS & Université paris OUest) 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/408257240 01 eng 30 00 This article deals with debated questions on the semantics and cognition of temporality: the existence of tenseless languages, the cultural variability of the representation of the future and the plurality of temporal frames and its contextdependency. It explores the hypothesis that even in tenseless languages, inferences relative to temporal location may ultimately become conventionalized and encoded by grammatical markers. While futurity is generally taken as the least tensy of tenses, this hypothesis is proposed for a future marker in Yucatec Maya (bíin). Features of factuality, remoteness and dissociation from the contemporal domain are further analysed, and lead to a characterization of bíin as triggering a non-actualized temporal frame of reference, associated with the domain of predetermined events outside human control. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.22gue 06 10.1075/slcs.172.22gue 679 702 24 Article 29 01 04 The Bulgarian future in light of the temporal frames of reference The Bulgarian future in light of the temporal frames of reference 1 A01 01 JB code 831257241 Zlatka Guentchéva Guentchéva, Zlatka Zlatka Guentchéva LACITO-CNRS – Université Paris 3 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/831257241 01 eng 30 00 Considering the core meaning of the Bulgarian Future as presenting an action “posterior to the moment of speech”, many scholars explain its modal uses as derived by the context. In contrast with previous studies, we argue that future time reference is not symmetrical with the past and has a branching time structure giving rise to different temporal frames of reference. We show that the posteriority of a situation (aspectualized as a state, a process or an event) is understood as being posterior to a reference point situated in a not-actualized temporal reference frame. The Future in Bulgarian can therefore be described as posterior to the enunciative temporal reference T₀, or in relation to an indirect speech act or any other temporal reference providing a prospective view, whether in the past or ongoing. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.s7 06 10.1075/slcs.172.s7 Section header 30 01 04 Part VII.

Kirtchuk-Halevi LACITO-CNRS 07 https://benjamins.com/catalog/persons/290257242 01 eng 30 00 North-Eastern Neo-Aramaic (NENA) displays two verbal paradigms: one whose subject is in the nominative and one whose subject is diachronically appended to the /l-/ (dative) preposition. Synchronically, this state of affairs can be interpreted as split-ergativity. Those paradigms stem from participial forms, nonperfect and perfect respectively. Since the difference is of aspect not diathesis, the perfect form can serve both as active or passive. The function it fulfills in each case is determined by use and construction, namely by pragmatics and syntax. Typology supports the dative rather than possessive interpretation of the paradigm II suffixes inasmuch as in many languages with ergative or split-ergative constructions, the ergative morpheme harkens back diachronically or is identical synchronically with the dative, instrumental &c., not with an originally genitive morpheme as such. These dynamic and functional explanations hopefully shed new light on synchronic data which until now seemeed contradictory, ambiguous and obscure. 01 01 JB code slcs.172.24lan 06 10.1075/slcs.172.24lan 727 728 2 Article 32 01 04 Language Index Language Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.172.25aut 06 10.1075/slcs.172.25aut 729 734 6 Article 33 01 04 Author Index Author Index 01 eng 01 01 JB code slcs.172.26sub 06 10.1075/slcs.172.26sub 735 740 6 Article 34 01 04 Subject Index Subject Index 01 eng 01 JB code JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 01 JB code JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.172 Amsterdam NL 00 John Benjamins Publishing Company Marketing Department / Karin Plijnaar, Pieter Lamers onix@benjamins.nl 04 01 00 20160309 C 2016 John Benjamins D 2016 John Benjamins 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027259370 WORLD 09 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 https://jbe-platform.com 29 https://jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027267610 21 01 00 Unqualified price 02 105.00 EUR 01 00 Unqualified price 02 88.00 GBP GB 01 00 Unqualified price 02 158.00 USD
