| dc.description.abstract | In 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. | |
