<p>Chers collègues,<br>
<br>
dans le cadre du séminaire de l'ANR "GENIUS: Genericity: Interpretation and<br>
Uses", nous avons le plaisir de vous convier à la prochaine conférence:<br>
<br>
Marcelo Ferreira (Universidade de São Paulo, Departamento de Lingüística)<br>
"Habituals and Plural Events"<br>
<br>
qui aura lieu le<br>
<br>
jeudi 11 février à 11h00<br>
à l'ENS<br>
29 rue d'Ulm<br>
Pavillon Jardin<br>
Salle de réunions - RdC<br>
<br>
Resumé:<br>
<br>
In this talk, I explore the idea that the logical representation of certain<br>
habitual sentences involve quantification/<wbr>reference to plural events (see<br>
Kratzer 2004). It has two parts:<br>
<br>
In the fist part, I contrast the semantics and pragmatics of habitual sentences<br>
with and without adverbs of quantification, as exemplified in (1):<br>
<br>
(1) a. When Mary visits John, he always/usually cries.<br>
b. When Mary visits John, he cries.<br>
<br>
I claim that whereas a quantificational analysis is adequate for the ones with<br>
Q-adverbs, with the adverbs being the counterpart of `every', `most' and so on,<br>
the ones without them (which I call `Bare Habituals') should be analyzed as<br>
involving plural definite descriptions of events.<br>
<br>
In the second part, I discuss continuous and habitual readings of imperfective<br>
sentences such as those in (2):<br>
<br>
(2) a. Mary is dying her hair (right now).<br>
b. Mary dyes her hair.<br>
<br>
I argue that continuous and habitual readings share the same temporal and the<br>
same modal ingredients. I assume the presence of an existential/<wbr>indefinite<br>
event determiner in both sentences and argue that the only difference between<br>
the logical representations of (2a) and (2b) is the number (singular/plural)<br>
of the event variables being quantified over. Continuous readings involve<br>
quantification over singular events, whereas habitual readings involve<br>
quantification over plural events. I also claim that cross-linguistic variation<br>
within the domain of imperfectivity reduces to selectional number requirements<br>
of an event determiner.<br>
