Events and twofold Iterativity in gnomic Utterances. Like the scientific law, the sententious phrase – maxim, aphorism or proverb – is a linguistic structure purporting to state a general truth by means of a predicate expressing either a permanent state of the subject or a characteristic event inherently related to it. The present article is an analysis of the sententious phrase whose predicate asserts the latter. It focuses on phrases that create a generic meaning by implying a twofold, virtually endless repetition of the event : not only for an infinity of different members of the category defined by the subject, but also for multiple occurrences of this event for the specific subject of the phrase.
