“…However, as Móia (2000aMóia ( , 2001) points out for the case of Portuguese and their equivalents in Romange languages, and Martínez-Atienza, for the case of Spanish (2006Spanish ( , 2010, the existential interpretation with atelic predicates available in (3) does not arise in Romance languages. Example (5) only admits a universal interpretation: The nature of the right boundary of the since PP and the (un)availability of an explicit right-side delimiter differs cross-linguistically.…”

“…(23) In contrast to since, PrP sentences modified by des de PPs can combine with atelic predicates predicates, see (24a-b). As Móia (2000aMóia ( , 2001 for the case of Portuguese and other Romance languages and Martínez-Atienza (2006 for Spanish show, the location of telic predicates is ruled out.

“…Punctual predicates such as achievements are odd, see (14d). According to Móia (2000aMóia ( , 2001, even though the location of telic events by since PPs is very restricted, he assumes that it is possible in some contexts as in (15) (from Móia 2000a: 313).…”

“…The grammatical properties of since PPs are known to differ across languages (see, for example, Mittwoch 1988;Móia 2000aMóia , 2001Iatridou et al 2001;von Stechow 2002;Schaden 2005aSchaden , 2005bSchaden , 2007Martínez-Atienza 2006Bosque & Bravo 2015, among others). I take into consideration the grammatical restrictions imposed by since and des de PPs to examine whether the available readings of PrP sentences can be derived from a single preposition (see Hitzeman 1995Hitzeman , 1997aHitzeman , 1997bvon Fintel & Iatridou 2005;Schaden 2005aSchaden , 2005bSchaden , 2007Bosque & Bravo 2015).…”

ABSTRACT. In this paper, I compare the grammatical properties of English since PPs, which have been analysed as perfect-level adverbials (Iatridou et al. 2001), with Catalan des de PPs. I argue against the claim that prepositions like since are ambiguous between a universal and an existential interpretation and show that an analysis based on the grammatical restrictions imposed by the temporal path denoted by des de or since determine the available readings of PrP sentences modified by desde or since.Keywords. Present perfect, since, universal, existential RESUMEN. En este artículo, comparo las propiedades gramaticales del complemento introducido por la preposición since en inglés, el cual ha estado analizado como un complemento adverbial del perfecto (Iatridou et al. 2001), con el complemento temporal encabezado por des de en catalán. Argumento en contra de la idea que el pretérito perfecto compuesto o las preposiciones como since son ambiguas entre una interpretación universal y existencial. Demuestro que un análisis basado en las restricciones gramaticales impuestas por la trayectoria temporal denotada por des de y since determina las lecturas de las oraciones de perfecto modificadas por este tipo de complementos en ambas lenguas.Palabras clave. Pretérito perfecto compuesto, desde, universal, existencial

On temporally bounded quantification over eventualities

This paper focuses on different subtypes of constructions involving temporally bounded quantification, e.g. sequences like David visited Rome three times followed by temporal phrases as different as (i) last year, which defines a time interval; (ii) in less that two months, which defines an amount of time; and (iii) per month, which refers to a time unit. As for the first two types of temporal phrases, data will be presented which shows that they have specific linguistic properties in these quantifying contexts, and do not behave exactly as the locating or duration adverbials they are superficially identical with. The third type of phrases will receive special attention. Structures with frequency adverbials like n times per month will be analysed compositionally, separating the quantified component n times from the temporally binding phrase per month (whose role is comparable to that of adverbials (i) and (ii) in the relevant constructions). The data presented is mainly from Portuguese, although the issues at stake – the linguistic properties of temporally bounded quantification – are obviously relevant to parallel constructions in other languages.
