Resum:

The aspectual operator still features interesting properties related to temporality, evaluativity, and polarity sensitivity. This is not unique to still but rather true of aspectual operators more generally—very similar properties can be found in alreadyanymore, and yet. And it is not unique to aspectual operators either—very similar facts have been reported for disjunction, indefinites, minimizers, or numerals. This paper starts from Beck (2020)’s proposal for temporality in still; generalizes it to alreadyanymore, and yet; and then generalizes it even further to capture evaluativity and, partially, polarity sensitivity also, drawing on Mihoc (2021)’s proposal for similar properties in superlative-modified numerals, which in turn draws on previous insights about disjunction, indefinites, minimizers, and other numerals. The result is a new solution to temporality, evaluativity and, partially, polarity sensitivity in still that unifies it not just with other aspectual operators but also with disjunction, indefinites, minimizers, and numerals.
