About this title

Synopsis

This book is an up-to-date milestone for the studies of temporality and language, in particular regarding syntax and semantics. Tenses, aspect and modality are investigated both at the theoretical and at the descriptive levels, involving many different Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages. 15 authors, among which an impressive number of very well-known scholars, through a variety of theoretical approaches and tools, shed light on a wide array of phenomena that remained unexplored until now.
