Abstract

This paper investigates temporal and textual structure and focusses on textual development. It aims to show that the typical bipartite opposition between temporal update in narrative constellations and the lack of update in stative contexts is too simplistic. What we find, rather, is a gradable scale between two poles. The first pole is that of a typical narrative development, where the reference time is updated, but the textual development may be strengthened further by argumentative means. The other pole concerns stative constellations, where the text develops through a motivated ordering that successively adds information to a whole (furnishing update). Between the two poles there is a further kind, which may or may not correlate with an update of the reference time. In this case, the text develops through the opposition between sets of propositions (argumentative update). Points on the scale may also overlap. In addition to introducing the scale, the paper shows the explanatory power of the argumentative update with respect to the use of perfective tense-aspect forms in contexts where the reference time does not shift.
