About the grammatical value of the tenses canté and cantaba and their use in the contexts of [± temporal delimitation]

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is the analysis of some theoretical and descriptive questions connected with the grammatical status of the Spanish tenses ‘copretérito’ (cantaba) and pretérito (canté) with special attention to the use in the contexts of [± temporal delimitation] and to relations between categories of Tense and Aspect. The starting-point of the analysis is the research realized by Ilpo Kempas and the distinction between aspectual and temporal approaches in the description of Spanish tenses.
