Temporalité et aspect peuvent être exprimés tant par la grammaire que par le lexique. De la comparaison entre langues, il ressort toutefois qu'il n'est pas possible d'établir une répartition, valable pour toutes les langues, des tâches dévolues respectivement à la grammaire et au lexique dans l'expression du temps et de l'aspect. Pour l'aspect en particulier, les différences entre les langues sont grandes. Ainsi certaines oppositions qui relèvent de l'aspect lexical en français se présentent comme grammaticalisées dans les langues slaves. Même à l'intérieur d'une même langue, on ne peut admettre l'existence d'une réelle frontière entre grammaire et lexique. En effet, certains marqueurs temporels ou aspectuels se trouvent dans la zone frontière entre ces deux domaines. Il en va ainsi des semi-auxiliaires d'aspect en français : leur origine étant lexicale, ils ont subi un processus de grammaticalisation qui n'a toutefois pas entièrement abouti. Par ailleurs, on observe des interférences voire des incompatibilités entre aspect grammatical et aspect lexical. Le présent recueil, qui réunit des contributions à la troisième édition du colloque Chronos (Valenciennes, 29-30 octobre 1998), se propose d'ouvrir des pistes de réflexion en explorant quelques-uns des moyens propres à l'expression de la localisation temporelle et de l'aspect, des plus grammaticalisés aux plus nettement lexicaux, en particulier la construction verbale (A. Carlier, V. Lagae), l'auxiliaire be associé à V- ing (G. Girard, G. Mélis), les semi-auxiliaires (D. Battistelli et J.-P. Desclés), les préfixes (D. Amiot, A. Israeli, D. Paillard), les compléments temporels (L. José, H. de Penanros) et les noms (N. Flaux, K. Paykin).

A classical viewpoint claims that reality consists of both things and stuff, and that we need a way to discuss these aspects of reality. This is achieved by using +count terms to talk about things while using +mass terms to talk about stuff. Bringing together contributions from internationally-renowned experts across interrelated disciplines, this book explores the relationship between mass and count nouns in a number of syntactic environments, and across a range of languages. It both explains how languages differ in their methods for describing these two fundamental categories of reality, and shows the many ways that modern linguistics looks to describe them. It also explores how the notions of count and mass apply to 'abstract nouns', adding a new dimension to the countability discussion. With its pioneering approach to the fundamental questions surrounding mass-count distinction, this book will be essential reading for researchers in formal semantics and linguistic typology.

Henry Smith develops a theory of syntactic case and examines its synchronic and diachronic consequences. Within a unification-based framework, the book draws out pervasive patterns in the relationship between morphosyntax ('linking') and grammatical function. The theory proposed consists of three ordered constraints on the association of NPs and arguments, based on the central notion of 'restrictiveness'. Beginning with a detailed study of dative substitution in Icelandic, the author moves on to examine a wide array of synchronic and diachronic data and to construct a typology of case. Theoretically innovative and sophisticated, and descriptively wide-ranging, this book will appeal to all those interested in the cross-linguistic marking of case and the ways in which case systems may change over time.
