Th e presen t perfec t puzzleAbstract
InJohn has left London, it is clear that the event
in question, John's leavingLondon,
has occurred in the past, for example yesterday at ten. Why is it impossible, then, to make this the event time more explicit by such an adverbial, as in Yesterday at ten, John has leftLondon? Any
solution of this puzzle crucially hinges on the meaning assigned to the perfect, and the present perfect in particular. Two such solutions, a scope solution and the 'current relevance'-solution, are discussed and shown to be inadequate. A new, strictly compositional analysis of theEnglish
perfect is suggested, and it is argued that the imcompatibility of the present perfect and most past tense adverbials has neither syntactic nor semantic reasons but follows from a simple pragmatical constraint, called here the 'position-definiteness constraint'. It is the very same constraint, which also makes an utterance such asAt ten, John
had left at nine pragmatically odd, even if John indeed had left at nine, and hence the utterance is true. 1 Th e proble m I n a n utteranc e suc h a s (1 Joh n ha s lef t hi s wife th e even t talke d about John' s leavin g hi s wife i s clearl y i n th e pas t (relativ e t o th e tim e o f utteranc e TU) I t ma y stil l b e particularl y relevan t t o th e presen t i n on e wa y o r th e other an d som e author s argu e tha t thi s i s th e reaso n wh y th e presen t perfec t i s use d here rathe r tha n th e simpl e past Bu t ther e i s littl e doub t tha t th e even t a s suc h i s ove r a t TU. i I t coul d hav e bee n yesterday o r las t fall o r som e te n year s ago Wh y i s i t impossible then t o say (2a *Joh n ha s lef t hi s wif e yesterday (2b *Yesterday Joh n ha s lef t hi s wife (3a *Joh n ha s lef t hi s wif e las t year (3b *Las t year Joh n ha s lef t hi s wife (4a *Joh n ha s lef t hi s wif e som e te n year s ago (4b *Som e te n year s ago Joh n ha s lef t hi s wife Th e constrain t i s no t restrictequotesdbs_dbs46.pdfusesText_46[PDF] Le present perfect + for ou since
