Linglib.Semantics.Aspect.Basic

Event predicates and the Event type are imported from Semantics/Events/Basic.lean — the unified event ontology. Tense-aspect code uses Event Time and W → Event Time → Prop without referencing .sort (the field exists for Krifka-style consumers but is irrelevant for Klein-style tense composition).

    Type (max u_2 u_1)

    Predicate over time points (output of PERF, input to TENSE). Defined as WorldTimeIndex W Time → Prop to make the situation structure explicit in the tense-aspect pipeline, connecting directly to situation semantics (Elbourne, Percus, Kratzer).

      Viewpoint aspect types. [Kle94] identified imperfective, perfective, perfect, and prospective. [Smi97] added the neutral viewpoint (default in the absence of overt aspect morphology).

          Bool-level viewpoint aspect, capturing the perfective/imperfective distinction without the full interval-based Event Time → Prop/IntervalPred machinery.

          Used by Modal/Ability.lean and the actuality-inference consumers (Modality/ActualityEntailments.lean, Studies/Hacquard2006.lean) where the key insight is simply "perfective requires actualization, imperfective doesn't."

                Visibility properties of viewpoints #

                [Smi97] §4.1 tabulates four visibility properties per viewpoint: whether the initial point of the situation is asserted, whether the final point is asserted, whether the viewpoint presents the situation as informationally closed, and whether the viewpoint can focus an interval strictly inside the situation (the structural source of the imperfective's "preliminary stages" reading for punctuals, §4.2.2). Each property derives from ttTSitRelation: visibility is interval geometry, and Smith's Table 1 re-emerges below as iff theorems, not as a stipulated lookup.

                The viewpoint asserts the situation's initial point: every licensed (tt, tsit) pair has tt containing tsit.fst.

                                    K&S notation: λp_it.λt.∃t_PTS.[RB(t_PTS, t) ∧ p(t)]. The p(t) is written by K&S as application to the outer reference time, with the composition convention that t is bound to t_PTS when IMPF appears below PERF (paper §4.2.1, sentence after eq. 25). The implementation here applies p to pts directly (the post-composition meaning), which matches K&S's worked composition in their (26).

                                      K&S notation: λp_it.λt.∃t_PTS.∃t_LB ⊆ tᵣ. [LB(t_LB, t_PTS) ∧ RB(t_PTS, t) ∧ p(t)]. The domain restriction tᵣ constrains where the LB can be placed; narrow focus on BEEN generates alternatives over tᵣ.

                                      K&S's (23b) is not the standard XN entry — that's their (22b), realized here as PERF. (23b) is K&S's own revision adding an LB existential bounded by the domain restriction. The legacy name PERF_XN predates this clarification; both PERF and PERF_XN are XN-theoretic, the difference being the LB+domain-restriction.

                                      Type-level simplification: K&S's t_LB is an initial subinterval of t_PTS (per their 23a), and t_LB ⊆ t_r compares two interval-sets. The implementation here uses tLB : Time (a single point) with ∃ tLB ∈ tᵣ (membership), simplifying K&S's set-theoretic LB to a single time witness inside the domain-restriction set. The simpler typing is sufficient for the empirical predictions K&S draw and avoids carrying intervals at every level.
