Revisiting 'again': The view from Kutchi Gujarati

Abstract

This paper discusses the interpretive behaviour of Kutchi Gujarati pacho ‘again’. It puts the Kutchi Gujarati facts in perspective with previous semantic analyses of AGAIN in other languages, in particular English, but also older varieties of English and German. We argue that the two predominant and competing semantic analyses of AGAIN both apply simultaneously to Kutchi Gujarathi pacho in order to account for the range of readings it gives rise to.
