Tense Across Languages

ISBN: 9783110266115 出版年：2011 页码：268 Rathert, Monika Musan, Renate De Gruyter

This book addresses recent developments in the study of tense from a cross-paradigm and cross-linguistic point of view. Leading international scholars explore challenging ideas about tense at the interfaces between semantics and syntax as well as syntax and morphology. The book is divided into three main subsections: 1) Tense in tenseless languages; 2) Tense, mood, and modality, and 3) Descriptive approaches to some tense phenonema. The volume can be used for graduate and undergraduate level teaching, though those who will maximally benefit will be researchers at graduate level.
