We present a novel argument from Hausa (Chadic) for the analysis of counterfactual Fake Tense as derived from a lexically underspecified EXCL-operator (Iatridou 2000). Evidence comes from the facts (i.) that Hausa has no morphosyntactic marking of tense, and (ii.) that//Fake Tense in Hausa is not expressed by verbal morphology, but by a left-peripheral operator 'daa' The analysis is cast in the branching-world model, cf. von Prince (2019). In the files section below you will find (i.) the abstract; and (ii.) a slide-presentation of the poster's contents to click through.
