<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">The
Standard Arabic imperfective verb form has three “moods”, called “indicative”,
“subjunctive”, </span><span style="font-size:11pt">and
“jussive”. The indicative conveys the two meanings typically associated with
imperfectivity </span><span style="font-size:11pt">cross-linguistically,
namely the progressive and habitual aspects, but the other two moods are </span><span style="font-size:11pt">harder to
pin down semantically. In this talk, I present evidence that the subjunctive
corresponds </span><span style="font-size:11pt">to the
English infinitive and has no meaning of its own. Rather, in the subjunctive
form, the </span>lexical<span style="font-size:11pt">
aspect of the underlying verb shines through. I claim that the indicative mood
also has no </span><span style="font-size:11pt">meaning of
its own, but only applies to verb phrases that are aspectually stative. In
order for an </span><span style="font-size:11pt">eventive
verb to be put in the indicative, then, it must first be stativized by a null
habitual or </span><span style="font-size:11pt">progressive
operator, explaining the morphological uniformity of habitual and progressive </span><span style="font-size:11pt">aspects in
Arabic and potentially cross-linguistically. I will have less to say about the
jussive, but </span><span style="font-size:11pt">suggest
that it bears a closer resemblance to the subjunctive than to the indicative
and may be </span><span style="font-size:11pt">an
allomorph of it.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Tunisian
Arabic, like other Arabic varieties, has two inflected paradigms generally
referred to as "perfective" and "imperfective." Tunisian
imperfective forms lack specific temporal or aspectual features; they appear in
a wide range of main and embedded sentences, overlapping with forms expressing
indicative, subjunctive, infinitive, and gerund moods cross-linguistically. In
this talk, I will argue that this polyfunctionality arises because Tunisian
morphologically imperfective verbs project a functional domain of variable
complexity. By examining the properties of their selecting elements and their
temporal interpretation, I will show that imperfective verbs in Tunisian can
project CP structures, AspP embedded sentences, and simple vP structures, but
they cannot project bare TPs. Tunisian illustrates that no lexical head selects
a bare TP, and, therefore, the presence of a TP domain and a CP are mutually
entailed, a principle that could potentially hold true also beyond this
language.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">I argue for
a tripartite model of Slavic aspect (and possibly aspect more generally).
Telicity, understood as atomicity, is computed in the Q(uantity)P(hrase) right
above the verbalizing vP. Just like in Germanic or Romance languages, it is
licensed by bounded constituents that measure out the event (direct objects,
small clauses, durative adverbials). Atelicity on this view amounts to the
absence of QP. Slavic prefixes are argued to merge in the number phrase that
takes QP as its argument, licensing singularity (number can also be valued as
plural or mass). The third aspectual layer, grammatical aspect, is hosted above
the domain of number (in AspP), and is responsible for introducing the reference
time and its relation to the event time. In at least some Slavic languages, it
is marked by forms such as the Aorist, the Imperfectum or the Perfect.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">The talk is
an empirical overview of a range of effects the Slavic aspectual class, i.e.
perfective vs. imperfective verbs, but also verb form aspect, have in the area
of mood. One dimension involved is that of aspect marking, ranging
from the verb class, verb form, i.e. traditional tense inflection, to
complex structures consisting of auxiliaries and morphological verb forms. The
other dimension is that between veridical and non-veridical meanings. A general
tendency may be observed that the introduction of perfectivity taken in a broad
sense universally shifts the meaning towards non-veridical. Some preliminary
speculations are offered about how these effects are obtained.</span></p></div>
