Binnick R.I. Time and the Verb: A Guide to Tense and Aspect
Oxford University Press, 1991. - 584 p.

ISBN: 019506206X


This comprehensive examination of tense and grammatical aspect provides fascinating insight into how languages indicate distinctions of time. Providing an in-depth survey of the scholarship from the ancient Greeks through the 1980s, Time and the Verb explains and evaluates every major issue and theory, concentrating on familiar Classical and mode European languages. An invaluable reference tool as well as a major contribution to the history of linguistic sciences, this book will be the standard against which future work on tense and aspect is measured.

This is the first thoroughly comprehensive study of tense and aspect, linguistic markers signifying relations in time. Tense and aspect have been peculiarly resistant to linguistic classification and explanation. There continue to be many competing theories, many different terminologies, and considerable controversy and confusion surrounding these evidently universal linguistic phenomena. Robert Binnick's work will enable students, teachers, and scholars to understand th use of verb forms in particular languages.

Serial verb constructions (sometimes called just serial verbs) as a grammatical phenomenon have been in the focus of linguistic analysis for a fair time. However, no one has so far attempted a book-length cross-linguistic typological study of the phenomenon, which would provide a comprehensive analytic framework, based on a wide range of languages of different typological profiles and genetic affiliations. The purpose of this volume is to fill th...

Joan Bybee and her colleagues present a new theory of the evolution of grammar that links structure and meaning in a way that directly challenges most contemporary versions of generative grammar. This study focuses on the use and meaning of grammatical markers of tense, aspect, and modality and identifies a universal set of grammatical categories. The authors demonstrate that the semantic content of these categories evolves gradually and that thi...
