Itération et agglomérats de procès

Some examples of iterative aspect, especially in French literature, show a really complex structure: the iteration doesn't concern a single eventuality but a combination of eventualities. In order to deal with these facts, we introduce a new category in the grammar of aspect: the cluster of eventualities. Through the analysis of real examples, we describe the semantic properties of this new entity, which appears useful also for the analysis of some singulative sequences.

Mots clés: cluster of eventualities; phases; eventualities; iteration; aspect
