Abstract

The aim of this work is to provide a unified analysis for the different readings of the present perfect (“passado composto”) in Portuguese. The distinct reading of iterativity and occasional duration will be cast in an Extended Now type theory (McCoard 1978, Iatridou et al. 2003), in an attempt to better understand the roles of tense, aspect, aktionsart and adverbs in the derivation of the possible meanings.
