Resumen
- A comparative study of futures in Bulgarian and Slovenian, Turkish and Iranian Azeri, Hindi-Urdu, and Spanish. It argues that future morphology encodes a modal category FUT without inherent temporality. Temporal Orientation derives from Viewpoint Aspect categories embedded under FUT, which may differ in phonological content. Such a phonological contrast is significant for the syntax-morphology interface, but has no effect on the syntax-semantics interface. The semantics of future constructions are importantly constrained by formal structural factors such as locality and intervention. Viewpoint plays a primary role in the interpretation of futures since as a higher category in the clausal architecture it often neutralizes the effects on FUT of Lexical Aspect as a lower category in the structure.
