Abstract
This article studies the use of the Bare Aorist in the Berber variety of Figuig, an oasis at the border of Morocco and Algeria. Like elsewhere in Berber, the BareAorist isused as a form that is neutral as to aspect, whose interpretation isprovided by context. It is shown that the major types of occurrence that wereestablished for other varieties (Mauri2017) are also represented in Figuig BareAorists. Framed Aorists are found in main clauses that are preceded by atemporal/aspectual clause that provides the framing for its aspectual interpretation. With Chained Aorists, the framing is provided by verbs in preceding mainclauses. It is shown, however, that Chained Aorists are subtly different in Figuigfrom the way they have been described for other varieties, as they mainly occur toexpress continuity at points where such a continuity is less expected. - Descriptive and Comparative Linguistics |
