Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between lexical and grammatical encoding of reference and the encoding of clausal and discursive aspectuality. We observe lexical and grammatical forms of reference to an individual (Leo Messi, a Barcelona football player) with regard to the aspectual type of discourse segments corresponding to semantic States-of-Affairs and Episodes (that is, coherent combinations of States-of-Affairs). The analysis is based on two news items about Leo Messi’s fourth Goal Boot award: one in French and the other one in Catalan.
