Abstract Alternative
The English progressive and the Japanese te-i-are both considered to be imperfective aspects. However, unlike the English progressive, the Japanese te-i-can be interpreted as counterfactual when it appears in if-sentences. This paper explores how this interpretation can be achieved through an invited inference, specifically the conditional perfection inference.
