Datapoint Martinican Creole/Present reference of stative verbs and past perfective reference of dynamic verbs

There are a few exceptions, as some unmarked stative verbs do not have present reference, but past reference. Some stative verbs thus need to be marked the same way as dynamic verbs to have present reference:

• Man sonjé Joj yè [1SG think.about George yesterday] 'I thought about George yesterday.'
≠
• Man ka sonjé Joj [1SG think about George] 'I am thinking about George' or 'I remind George'.
