piñón: a semantics for durative adverbials

abstract

Shortcomings of existing analyses of durative adverbials are reviewed and a new approach is proposed with an aim at overcoming these shortcomings. Characteristic of the new approach is that it considerably weakens the core semantics of durative adverbials and that it builds in a notion of distribution that seems essential for treating combinations of durative adverbials and frequency adverbials.
