Language Variation and Change Group
Group 'discovery day' devoted to exchanging research questions and pressing issues.
12:30 PM - 2:00 PM
Semantics Group
Giuseppe Ricciardi (MA): "Italian future non-future: Its contexts of use."
It is a well-known fact that in many languages future morphology can be optionally used to convey an epistemic reading, without any reference to a future time. In this talk, I focus on Italian where the epistemic use of the future is quite productive. I will attempt to define clearly the utterance contexts where it is appropriate to employ the epistemic future and, at the same time, I will try to explore its relation to other, more 'conventional' epistemic expressions.
