Arkadyev P. M. Vzaimodeystviye aktsionalnosti, aspekta i vremeni v uslovnykh konstruktsiyakh kubanskogo dialekta kabardino-cherkesskogo yazyka. Acta Linguistica Petropolitana. 9.
I investigate the use of tense-aspect markers in counterfactual conditionals in the Kuban dialect of Kabardian, focusing on the expression of perfective vs. imperfec-tive aspectual viewpoints in combination with different eventuality types. I show that while aspectual and actional information plays an important role in determining the morphological encoding in Kuban Kabardian conditionals, mostly having to do with the choice of the Imperfect vs. Pluperfect tenses, temporal reference remains largely underspecified.
Keywords
Circassian languages, conditionals, counterfactuality, tense, aspect, pluperfect, imperfectivity
