Abstract

The domains of tense and aspect have received considerable attention in the past two decades. Both the perceptual and linguistic meanings that are involved in expressing temporality have been focused on, and investigators have set out to discover the linguistic forms used to express these meanings. Tense and Aspect in Discourse aims at providing a better understanding of the textual and contextual interplay between aspectual meanings, linguistic forms, and their discourse functions. It provides a variety of very useful discussions of pertinent issues in this area.
