"Temporal constraints on event repetition: the case of Mandarin Chinese ZAI"

Date : lundi 30 avril 2007
Lieu : Université Paris 8, Bâtiment D, Salle 143, 93 Saint-Denis
Heure : 14h30 - 16h30
Métro : ligne 13, St-Denis-Université


The Mandarin Chinese adverb ZAI, in its adverbial use, displays a number 
of peculiarities - concerning the temporal orientation of the predicate, 
its aspectual properties and the syntactic/logical role of the 
proposition it occurs - which, as a whole, have been subsumed under the 
feature "irrealis". In our analysis, we consider ZAI as an additive 
particle in the domain of events and we propose to derive its "irrealis" 
flavour from constraints on the structure and temporal location of the 
asserted event. As an additive particle, ZAI conveys a presupposition 
which cannot be recovered independently from the context of utterance.
