Many so-called \‘zero tense\’-marked (which we define as morphologically reduced and underspecified inflections) or untensed verb forms found in tenseless languages, have been characterized as context dependent for their temporal and aspectual interpretation, with the verb\’s aspectual content (either as event structure or viewpoint properties) being given more or less prominent roles in their temporal anchoring. In this paper, we focus on a morpho-phonologically reduced inflectional verbal paradigm in Anindilyakwa (Groote Eylandt archipelago, NT, Australia), which is both temporally and aspectually underspecified, and constitutes an instance of zero tense as defined above. On the basis of a quantitative study of an annotated corpus of zero-inflected utterances, we establish that in the absence of independent overt or covert temporal information, the temporal anchoring of this \‘zero tense\’ exhibits complex patterns of sensitivity to event structural parameters. Notably we establish that while dynamicity/stativity and telicity/atelicity are to some extent valuable predictors for the temporal interpretation of zero tense in Anindilyakwa, only atomicity (i.e., event punctuality) and boundedness categorically impose a past temporal anchoring\—this confirms insights found in previous works, both on Anindilyakwa and on other languages, while also differing from other generalisations contained in these works. Our analysis also shows that unlike several zero tenses identified in various languages (especially in Pidgins and Creoles), Anindilyakwa zero tense-marked dynamic utterances do not correlate with a past temporal reading. Rather, we show that Anindilyakwa seems to come closest to languages possessing zero tensed-verbs (or tenseless verbs) where boundedness monotonically enforces a past temporal anchoring, such as Navajo and Mandarin Chinese. We also show that aspect-independent temporal information appears to determine the temporal anchoring of all zero tense-marked unbounded atelic utterances (both stative and dynamic) in Anindilyakwa\—a fact at once conflicting with some claims made in previous works on zero tenses, while confirming results from past studies of Indigenous languages of the Americas (especially Yucatec Maya), concerning the role of temporal anaphora in the temporal interpretation of \‘tenseless\’ verb forms.

The present paper will explore several issues which, I think, have been close to L\éa\’s theoretical heart throughout her entire career, that is the complex interplay between argument structure, event structure, actionality, tense and aspect parameters in the verb\’s morphosyntax to semantics interface. Her numerous publications on transitivity, voice/ ergativity, together with their correlates with respect to tense-aspect and actionality, are a clear indication of a distinctly acquired taste for these particular theoretical notions\—a taste L\éa had evidently developed as early as her PhD thesis (Nash 1995), and has not stopped cultivating since then, cf. e.g. Nash (2017).

A brief areal comparative account of demodality across Europe vs. Australia based on a sample of 40 languages (capitalizing on the results of (Caudal 2022a) for its Australian part), will reveal that while SAE languages seem to offer both \‘positive\’ and \‘negative\’ demodal meanings, with a predominance of the former over the latter, Australian languages exclusively grammaticalize or constructionalize negative postmodal meanings \– especially so-called avertives (Kuteva et al. 2019), cf. (5)-(6).

The core research question addressed in this paper will be \– what is the reason behind this typological asymmetry? After identifying distinct, sometimes overlapping development paths for the various categories at stake in both SAE and Australian languages (with avertivity primarily deriving from volitional/proximative aspectuo-modal meanings in Australia), we will hypothesize that the observable differences between Europe and Australia mostly originate in deep differences in the respective types of aspectual systems found in \‘Standard Average European\’ (Haspelmath 1998) (especially Romance and Germanic) vs. Australian languages. In particular, following (Caudal 2022b), we will argue that Australian languages frequently lack combinations of \‘strong\’ perfective aspectual operators with modal operators in their morphology and lexicon, as they tend to only possess aspectually underspecified and/or \‘weak\’ perfective tenses the sense of (Martin 2019) \– i.e., past tenses, which even when endowed with perfective meanings, can disregard culminating interpretations, cf. (7), which is an instance of a so-called \‘non-culminating accomplishment\’ (Bar-El, Davis \& Matthewson 2006).

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  (weak perfective; partitive culmination \– event began but failed to culminate)

We will conclude by arguing for the centrality of an aspectual-coercion based origin of demodal meanings in Germanic \& Romance (although it is not exclusive \– Romanian thus offers an Australian-like, imperfective avertive (Pahontu forthcoming)) \– and will suggest that such instances of aspectual coercion should not be regarded as a matter of mere type-shifting operator \à la (de Swart 1998), but as a richer, multi-dimensional type of meaning \à la (Gutzmann 2015), combining a non-at-issue modal meaning (formerly at-issue), with an innovative \‘actuality entailment\’, at issue meaning. Of course, such developments are entirely lacking in Australian languages, for want of proper \‘strong\’ perfective grams combining with modal markers.

This paper aims at establishing that Hypothetical Conditional Structures (HCSs), and in general expressions exhibiting composite TAM marking (i.e. with a\  combination of several TAM morphological exponents, or a combination of at least one TAM morphological exponent with constructional/syntactic elements) are never completely compositional, and always involve conventionnalized form/meaning pairings to some degree. On the basis of both synchronic and diachronic facts, it will be demonstrated that theories essentially trying to construe the meanings of HCSs (and other expressions with composite TAM marking) through the productive contextualization of e.g. tense markers, or other semantic/pragmatic productive strategies (e.g. semantic composition\…), cannot account for obvious conventionnalization patterns in the grammar of HCSs. An alternative constructional account will be proposed in order to address these difficulties.

This paper investigates the meaning of a specific intonation contour called linear lengthening intonation (LLI), which is found in the northern Australian language Iwaidja. Using an experimental field work approach, we analysed approximately 4000 utterances. We demonstrate that the semantics of LLI is broadly event-quantificational as well as temporally scalar. LLI imposes aspectual selectional restrictions on the verbs it combines with (they must be durative, i.e., cannot describe \‘punctual\’, atomic events), and requires the event description effected by said verbs to exceed a contextually determined relative scalar meaning. Iwaidja differs from other northern Australian languages with similar intonation patterns in that it does not seem to have any argument NP-related incremental or event scalar meaning. This suggests that LLI is a decidedly grammatical, language-specific device and not a purely iconic kind of expression (even though it also possibly has an iconic dimension).

The core research question addressed in this paper will be \– what is the reason behind this typological asymmetry? After identifying distinct, sometimes overlapping development paths for the various categories at stake in both SAE and Australian languages (with avertivity primarily deriving from volitional/proximative aspectuo-modal meanings in Australia), I will hypothesize that the observable differences between Europe and Australia mostly originate in deep differences in the respective types of aspectual systems found in \‘Standard Average European\’ (Haspelmath 1998) (especially Romance and Germanic) vs. Australian languages. In particular, following (Caudal 2022b), I will argue that Australian languages frequently lack combinations of \‘strong\’ perfective aspectual operators with modal operators in their morphology and lexicon, as they tend to only possess aspectually underspecified and/or \‘weak\’ perfective tenses the sense of (Martin 2019) \– i.e., past tenses, which even when endowed with perfective meanings, can disregard culminating interpretations, cf. (7), which is an instance of a so-called \‘non-culminating accomplishment\’ (Bar-El, Davis \& Matthewson 2006).

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \  (weak perfective; partitive culmination \– event began but failed to culminate)

I will conclude by arguing for the centrality of an aspectual-coercion based origin of demodal meanings in Germanic \& Romance (although it is not exclusive \– Romanian thus offers an Australian-like, imperfective avertive (Pahontu forthcoming)), arguing that such instances of aspectual coercion should not be regarded as a matter of mere type-shifting operator \à la (de Swart 1998), but as a richer, multi-dimensional type of meaning \à la (Gutzmann 2015), combining a non-at-issue modal meaning (formerly at-issue), with an innovative \‘actuality entailment\’, at issue meaning. Of course, such developments are entirely lacking in Australian languages, for want of proper \‘strong\’ perfective grams combining with modal markers.

This paper will put forth an innovative research program on the French conditionnel, backing it with some relatively detailed empirical arguments. The research hypothesis here advanced can be described as constructionalist in the broadest sense (and not simply in the sense of Goldberg 1995). The main idea defended here is that the diversity of the so-called \‘uses\’ (emplois) of the conditional cannot be accounted for by means of a single semantic invariant (monosemy), nor purely through productive polysemous or homonymous relations between various readings. Rather, it sometimes implies conventionnalized forms/meanings pairings at the level of syntactically complex constructions.

Introduction v Currently dominant neo-davidsonian view on aspect calculus has driven many to study event structure in terms of mereological, part-of relationships ; it will be argued here that this approach is not appropriate for theoretical \& empirical reasons (cf. Asher (1993) \& Verkuyl (1993) for related positions, on philosophical grounds); v An alternative approach based on discourse-like relations will be proposed. Main features : Explicit relations between situations, sub-situations (or situation stages) and aspectual viewpoints ; Empirical evidence in a variety of languages suggesting indeed that event types / event structure (= situation structure / eventuality structure) should be regarded as a language-specific issue. 2 Preliminary definitions : some basic aspectual concepts 2.1 Defining situation structure and lexical aspect

I will argue in this paper that the standard notions of affectedness, change-of-state and result state are too coarse-grained, and will revise and enrich substantially their content, increasing their role in a compositional aspect construal procedure. I will claim in particular that a proper theory of event structure requires that enriched result states should be lexically represented, and will base on them a computational treatment of event structure within a feature-structure-based lexicon.
