El tamp en valencià

This essay intends to apply to the Valencian verb the linguistic method of TAMP (tense-aspect-mood-person) within which different pragmatic parameters are organized in such a way never before seen to better understand this phenomena. The basic theory that this application shows is the Topological-Natural Pragmatics (T-NP, Calvo 1989) in which the tense-aspect relationship is dominated by the super-structural mood-person relationship. In this way, a new verbal paradigm is offered to explain the necessity of the past periphrasti c or of the marked first person of the present indictive. The explanation of TAMP in Valencian is based in morphology, since there exists morphems which characterize it: stress (—'(—), —(—')), aspect (-av-I-i-), mood (- Vr-) and supermood (-Vs-). When the morphems do not appear, the result is a general background that permits different verbal uses and their neutralizations.
