Abstract

In this paper we analyze the aspectual meaning that the future perfect receives when it is combined with stative predicates from the point of view of the lexical aspect or mode of action. As we show, the variety expressed in these cases is the so-called experiential perfect, according to which the experience of the subject is expressed at the enunciation moment or at a certain point of reference as a result of an event that has taken place at least on one occasion. With this objective, we will study the two interpretations that this verbal form receives: of anteriority with respect to an event subsequent to the moment of the enunciation (with relative character) and of epistemic modality (with absolute character).
