This workshop specifically aims to explore the morphosyntactic and semantic properties of analytic Tense and Aspect constructions from theoretical, descriptive, and comparative perspectives. In particular, it seeks to offer new insights into the cross-linguistic expression of temporal and aspectual meanings in analytic constructions, also considering how Tense and Aspect are semantically and syntactically intertwined with each other across languages.
We invite contributions on any area regarding the syntactic and semantic dimensions of Tense and Aspect, including but not limited to the following lines:
How are aspectual periphrases syntactically and semantically encoded (resultatives, progressives…)?
What is the contribution of auxiliaries and light verbs in compound tenses?
What are the semantic and/or morpho-syntactic factors regulating the distribution of synthetic vs analytic Tense/Aspect constructions?
How do modality- or Mood-related interpretations of Tense arise (e.g, “fake/repurposed tenses” in counterfactuals)?
What are the semantic/pragmatic implications of super-compound tenses?
We invite submissions for 20-minute talks (+10min discussion) in English.
