“…There is convincing evidence that, unlike lexical verbs, default auxiliaries, such as English be, do not contribute to the semantics of the predicate (Chomsky (1993); Rothstein (1999Rothstein ( , 2004; Iatridou et al (2003); Pancheva (2003), among others). For instance, auxiliary verbs do not seem to have their own thematic structure.…”

Abstract. It is a widely accepted generalization that verbal periphrasis is triggered by increased inflectional meaning and a paucity of verbal elements to support its realization. This work examines the limitations on synthetic verbal forms in Ndebele and argues that periphrasis in this language arises via a last-resort grammatical mechanism. The proposed trigger of auxiliary insertion is c-selection -a relation between inflectional categories and verbs.

“…Remaining ambiguities are ultimately interpreted from assessing other morphosyntactic elements of the sentence such as grammatical (viewpoint) aspect and (im)perfective morphology of the participle (for languages like Greek and Bulgarian, see IATRIDOU et al, 2003;PANCHEVA, 2003).…”

“…It has been noted by some (RATHERT, 2003;PANCHEVA, 2003;IATRIDOU et al, 2003) that there are some cases of the Present Perfect in which there is an ambiguity between the Universal and Existential Perfects (U-perfects vs. E-perfects, respectively). For example, (1a) could mean that John still lives in New York at speech time, or that there was some time in the past at which John lived in New York for four years.…”

“…I extend this claim further in that the PPC cannot express any specific number of bounded events, with adverbs like 'three times', for example. So, the notion that an E-perfect is possible goes against claims that Portuguese only has a U-perfect (BRUGGER, 1978 SQUARTINI;BERTINETTO, 2000;PANCHEVA, 2003). Motivated by similar surface structure ('have' + past participle ; 'ter' + particípio passado) and some semantic overlap in meanings, revealed in examples like (2b), I defend that the meaning of the PPC is not semantically divergent from the Present Perfect of other more studied languages, and that language-specific differences can be derived from composition with other morphosyntactic elements.…”

“…In the next section, I will briefly discuss some previous approaches to the U/E distinction for the PrP as well as some previous approaches aimed at accounting for the PPC's distinctive iterative property. Section 3 will present a review of the PTS approach to the Present Perfect as proposed by Iatridou et al (2003) and Pancheva (2003), and how it will apply to the PPC. Section 4 involves a discussion of the role of adverbs and the possibility of covert adverbs in the Present Perfect.…”

O presente trabalho trata do pretérito perfeito composto (PPC) ea possibilidade de leituras universais e existenciais. Váriosestudos recentes sobre o “Present Perfect” (“Presente Perfeito”)em línguas mais estudadas (e.g. Inglês, Alemão, Grego, Turco,etc.) descrevem as ambiguidades entre os dois tipos de leiturasque frequentemente são definidos em termos da abordagem“Extended Now” (“Presente Estendido”) (RATHERT, 2003;IATRIDOU et al., 2003; MCCOARD, 1978). A caracterização doPresent Perfect nesta abordagem sofre de alguns problemasmesmo quando se trata de fenômenos nas línguas maisestudadas e também é sujeita a outros novos problemas naanálise do PPC. Dado que análises anteriores têm tratado oPresent Perfect somente em contextos com advérbios durativos,a natureza dos rótulos de ‘universal’ e ‘existencial’ ainda nãofoi testada com advérbios de frequência, por exemplo. Alémdisso, as poucas referências feitas em relação ao PPC têmdeclarado que este apresenta somente a leitura universal(SQUARTINI; BERTINETTO, 2000). É sabido, no entanto, queo PPC apresenta dois tipos de leituras, durativo (e.g. ‘A Mariatem sido feliz’) e iterativo (e.g. ‘A Maria tem visitado os pais’).Estas limitações de abordagens do tipo Extended Now vão serdiscutidas e modificações vão ser propostas para poderacomodar a leitura distinta de iteratividade em Português tantoquanto as leituras mais comuns de repetição encontradas emoutras línguas.

The analytic perfect is found in Germanic and Romance languages, as well as in a couple of Slavic languages. Based on data from parallel corpora, we address the role of the perfect between tense and aspect, and show how its meaning is composed from aspectual properties of the participle and the tense marking on the auxiliary. Since the perfect is concerned with temporal relations, we focus on the interaction of the construction with temporal adverbials.
