Descriptif
This presentation examines temporal and aspectual expression in Anindilyakwa (non-Pama-Nyungan, Australia), a language whose inflectional verbal system displays both a complex morphological makeup (where tense/aspect is realised through obligatory circumfix-like morphs), and a largely underspecified aspectuo-temporal semantics. While all synthetic verbal inflections are underspecified for viewpoint aspect, one morpho-phonologically reduced morph displays both temporal and aspectual underspecification.
In this presentation, we first examine the aspectually underspecified synthetic system, and in light of this, consider how aspectual distinctions can be specified through non-synthetic means. This will be followed by an analysis of the temporal anchoring of events involving the morpho-phonologically reduced (and aspectuo-temporally underspecified) morph, considering particularly contexts in which there is an absence of any overt or covert temporal information (i.e. what parameters contribute to the temporal interpretation of events taking this inflectional marking?)
Throughout the presentation, we will be paying special attention to the sensitivity of the inflectional system to event structural parameters, and consider how this compares cross-linguistically.
