Tense and Aspect for Glue Semantics: The Case of Participial XADJs

Dag Haug

Abstract

In the first part of this paper, I present a general model for tense and aspect in Glue semantics based on Wolfgang Klein's time relational analysis (Klein, 1994). In the second part I analyse the temporal reference of participial XADJs in Ancient Greek within this system and show how information structure interacts with aspectual marking to constrain temporal relations between secondary events and the event of the main clause.
