Temporal prepositions and intervals in Spanish. Variation in the grammar of "hasta" and "desde"

In many varieties of American Spanish, the temporal preposition hasta 'until' is able to modify telic predicates in the absence of negation. Previous analyses argue for either a hidden negation or a special punctual reading of this preposition. We show that these analyses make a number of...
