The Temporal Relationships between the Pluscuamperfecto andmientras+ Imperfecto

Abstract: This paper analyzes the temporal relationship between a pluperfect verb in a main clause and a following subordinate clause introduced by mientras (‘while’) with an imperfect verb. The specific lexical and aspectual properties of the components lead to clashing expectations concerning the temporal relationship within the structure. The issues are three-fold. First, the subordinating conjunction lexically expresses the co-temporality of the subordinate clause with regard to another eventuality. Second, this may… Show more

“…In order to build the abstract structure (see the visualization below in Figure 1), we concentrate on five different types of time points and time spans. Some of them have been a central part of the research on temporality for a very long time (see Reichenbach 1947), but some have undergone important precisions since then (see Kamp & Rohrer 1983 and later publications in DRT), to which we have contributed further refinements (see Becker & Egetenmeyer 2018, Egetenmeyer 2023. The speech time (n) determines the origo of the speaker and thereby sets the basis for all temporal relationships.…”
