Abstract:

This monograph presents a theoretical and empirical study of the Spanish and
the Portuguese Present Perfect (PP). The innovative claim is that the two
tense forms operate in the field of tension between temporal quantification
and temporal reference. Based on this approach, it presents the first in-depth
study that explicitly takes into account the level of discourse. The following
questions are investigated: How do the Spanish and the Portuguese PP interact
with discursive factors, such as adjacent tense forms? What kind of discursive
meaning do they generate? Which diachronic trends do their discourse functions
reveal? It is argued that while the Spanish PP tends to a referential drift
(traditionally labelled as an aoristic drift), the Portuguese PP tends to
preserve and specialize its quantificational meaning. The book is of interest
to all those working on the Present Perfect or generally in the field of tense
and aspect in discourse.
