> Résumé :
> In this talk I investigate the interaction of tense, perfectivity  
> and modality in Spanish and French, languages in which modal verbs  
> exhibit full tense and aspect distinctions. I examine the possible  
> interpretations of  past indicative tenses, perfective and  
> imperfective, on the modals of possibility and obligation.  
> Imperfective tenses exhibit the expected modalized readings but  
> perfective past tenses have unexpected entailments and implicatures,  
> involving the (non) realisation of the embedded event. In Spanish  
> there are three readings with a preterit modal: epistemic,  
> implicative and counterfactual; only the first one has the expected  
> averidicality of modals. French exhibits the first two but lacks the  
> counterfactual reading, absent also in the Spanish perfecto. The  
> semantic and pragmatic ingredients responsible for these readings  
> are analyzed. I appeal to the relative scoping of the different  
> operators, Kratzer’s (1991) theory of modality, and the effect of  
> the modal on the domain of quantification to explain these readings.  
> The analysis is confirmed by the interaction of Tense, Modality and  
> Negation. The absence of the counterfactual reading in the French  
> passé composé and the Spanish perfecto is explained by their  
> semantics, which adds a persistent state incompatible with  
> counterfactuality.
