Item Optional Past Tense in Wolof(2019-10-28) Bochnak, Ryan; Martinović, MartinaIn this paper, we discuss the interpretation of the past temporal marker oon in Wolof (Niger-Congo; Senegal), in light of recent claims in the literature regarding its status as a so-called “discontinuous past.” We show that the cessation inference associated with oon is a conversational implicature. Thus, oon can receive an analysis as a plain semantic past tense.
