A layered approach to habitual constructions

Typological studies in language, pp. 372–385

Abstract

Abstract This chapter presents typological generalizations that can be derived from a comparison of the data presented in Chapters 2 – 11 in this volume. The languages are compared in the light of the two predictions presented in Chapter 1 : (i) across and within languages, dedicated habitual expressions may differ from one another in terms of the layer(s) at which they apply; (ii) if a habitual expression applies at more than one layer, the layers involved will be contiguous in the hierarchy of layers established within Functional Discourse Grammar. Both predictions are confirmed without exceptions, and thus support the new approach to habitual meanings elaborated in this volume.
