Resum
The article focuses on certain cases in which the use of the compound perfect (CP) of Peninsular Spanish presents problems of interpretation, or apparently contradicts the norms for the use of this form, i.e., the CP is used together with a prehodiernal expression of time (e.g., hace X días/semanas/años). Nevertheless, the use of the CP in those cases seems to be accepted by most speakers. We analyse examples derived from different sources from a perspective that combines the lexical meaning of the verbs with their syntactic and discursive context and propose a global solution for all of them that, from a temporalist rather than aspectualist viewpoint, offer a coherent picture of the Spanish PC. The common denominator in many of the cases analysed is that the PC expresses the Resultative Perfect. On the other hand, also the prehodiernal «aoristic» PPC appears in some of them, which underlines the close connection of this tense with the moment of utterance.
