| Abstract: |
Hom ha considerat sovint que l'imperfet és un temps relatiu i que el seu significat és el de "present de passat". Partint d'aquesta hipòtesi, en aquest treball es considera que: (i) el valor de l'imperfet ha de ser delimitat per mitja de dos elements temporals diferents, per mitjà, concretament, d'un present situat sota l'abast d'un passat; i (ii) l'element passat es comporta de manera semblant als pronominals i està sotmès al principi B de la Teoria del Lligam. En la darrera part d'aquest treball es defensa la idea que cada un d'aquests elements temporals és el nucli d'una categoria funcional. |
| Abstract: |
The imperfect tense has been frequently characterized as a relative tense meaning "present in the past". From this hypothesis we consider in this essay that: (i) the value of the imperfect must be delimited by means of two different temporal elements, to be exact, by means of a present situated under the scope of a past; and (ii) this past behaves in a similar way as pronominals and is subject to Principle B of Binding Theory. The idea of each of these temporal elements being the head of a functional category is defended in the last part of this paper. |
