Résumé
Georges Kleiber : The French Imparfait: aspect or anaphora? In this article, we will only tackle the anaphoric dimension of imperfect without trying to defend the part-whole option supported with Anne-Marie Berthonneau in 1993. First we will confront the imperfectivist approach to the temporal anaphoric approach to attempt at determining which one may prevail against the other. Then we will endeavour to show that, whatever the importance we may still attach to imperfectivity as well, imperfect is intrinsically an anaphoric marker, but an anaphoric that is not solely temporal.
