This dissertation investigates semantic and syntactic properties of the forms --te iru and --te aru in Japanese, as well as pragmatic effects of statements with these forms |
|
With an activity verb in the --te iru form, progressive, experiential, and habitual readings are available. With an achievement verb in the --te iru form, perfective, experiential, and habitual readings are available. I address specifically the difference between perfective and experiential readings. After reviewing the literature, where it seems that the distinction is not clear, I give a series of empirical tests and argue that experiential sentences exhibit properties of individual-level predicates, while perfective (as well as progressive) sentences exhibit properties of stage-level predicates |
|
There are two types of --te aru sentences, intransitivizing and non-intransitivizing --te aru, both of which have been claimed to yield perfective readings. However, I argue that all -- te aru sentences are experiential and exhibit properties that parallel individual-level predicates |
