The next two points concern the aspectual information and the implementation of the subjunctive on le in (35). Given that le can show aspect morphology, as was shown in (16), we include an AspP layer in (36). In general, subjunctive Type I connects clauses, as it is also used more widely in coordinate clauses, recall example (13-a). With respect to le-complementation, subjunctive Type I expresses a causal relation between the event introduced by le and the event introduced by the matrix predicate. In order to integrate this CAUSE function, we have to consider the analysis of aspect. Traditionally, aspect is assumed to existentially close off the eventuality argument and introduce a time argument; denotations are given in (38) for perfective and imperfective aspect. In unembbeded scenarios, that is in indicative clauses, the standard account can be adopted. Hence, the denotation in (38-a) can be directly taken to be encoded by Asp2 in (36).24
