Example text
21 Imperfect is non-ante1"im·, usually simultaneous, expressing a within relation. 22 I can then conclude that the Arabic Present is morphologically (or morphosyntactically) expressed, although it interacts interestingly with Imperfective. PT also expresses Imperfect, which is distinct from Imperfective. This morphology turns out then to be one of "tense" (Present or Imperfect), rather than "aspect': Imperfective can be associated with these tenses, and we will return to further clarifications on this interaction, after examining other specific contexts in which PT is used as Imperfect.
With interpretations which are traditionally thought of as aspectual in nature. Moreover, the transitive (a) and the aspectual (b) uses (or alternations) are normally taken to be non-related, and hence no unifying treatment of them has been proposed. 2 Problem 2: Transitivity theory What is the source of transitivity? Does it arise from a VP shell structure (Larson 1988), the projection of little v (Chomsky 1995), or the projection of Voice (Kratzer 1996)? Chomsky (1995, 1998), relying on work by Larson (ibid) and Hale & Keyser (1993; passim) proposed that transitivity arises through a v functional head, which is external to the projection of VP.
But note now that with Imperfect Future, the in-X test is completely felicitous: (41) y-aqtaru r-rajul-u l-masaafat-a gad-an fii saarat-in 3-cross the-man-NOM the-distance-Ace tomorrow in hour-GEN The man will cross the distance tomorrow in an hour. The same result obtains with achievements. The common behaviour of Future and Past/Perfect vis-a-vis the in-X test, as opposed to that of the Present, indicates that the difference is due to the value of Perfectivity; associated with Tense: Past/Perfect and Future are perfective, whereas Present is imperfective.
