Lecture: Investigating the semantics of tense-aspect markers in Jula

Our talk aims at presenting a research project that we did on the tenses and aspects markers of Jula (an understudied Mande language).
We will show how to make a distinction between tenses and aspects on the theoretical level, and how to investigate them and put diagnoses through a short amount of elicitations. We will then discuss the main features of the tense-aspect system of Jula, which turns out to be mainly aspectual. This will include some marker combinations (which create more intricate tense-aspect meanings) and complex sentences.
