This volume deals with the complex question of time and aspect in ancient Egyptian. The first part presents an original theoretical model which challenges some well-established facts in general linguistics. The functioning of aspect is explained as a dialectic process between the grammatical tenses, the actionality of events, the semantic roles of the participants, and diverse lexical means. The second part examines the expression of aspect in ancient Egyptian, with a diachronic presentation from the beginning down to Late Egyptian. The third and last part is devoted to the study of the temporal relation. The argumentation is illustrated by more than 800 examples and numerous figures.

The Grammar of the English Tense System forms the first volume of a four-volume set, The Grammar of the English Verb Phrase. The other volumes, to appear over the next few years, will deal with mood and modality, aspect and voice. The book aims to provide a grammar of tense which can be used both as an advanced reference grammar (for example by MA-level or postgraduate students of English or linguistics) and as a scientific study which can act as a basis for and stimulus to further research. It provides not only a wealth of data but also a unique framework for the study of the English tense system, which achieves great predictive and explanatory power on the basis of a limited number of relatively simple rules. The framework provided allows for an analysis of the semantics of individual tenses which reflects the role of tenses not only in locating situations in time relative to speech time but also in relating situations in time relative to one another to form temporally coherent discourse. Attention is paid to the relations between tenses. On the one hand, we can identify sets of tenses linked to particular temporal areas such as the past or the future. These sets of tenses provide for the expression of a system of temporal relations in a stretch of discourse in which all the situations are located within the same temporal area. On the other hand, there are many contexts in which speakers might in theory choose between two or more tenses to locate a situation (e.g., when we choose between the past tense and the present perfect to locate a situation before speech time), and the book examines the difference that a choice of one or the other tense may make within a discourse context. The book moves from a detailed exploration of the meaning and use of individual tenses to a thorough analysis of the way in which tenses can be seen to function together as sets, and finally to a detailed examination of tenses in, and tenses interacting with, temporal adverbials. Original data is used frequently throughout the book to illustrate the theory discussed.

This monograph investigates the temporal properties of those predicates referring to individuals - the so-called individual-level (IL) predicates - in contrast to those known as stage-level (SL) predicates. Many of the traditional tenets attributed to the IL/SL dichotomy are not solidly founded, this book claims, as it examines current theoretical issues concerning the syntax/semantics interface such as the relation between semantic properties of predicates and their syntactic structure. By using the contrast found in Spanish copular clauses (ser vs. estar), Individuals in Time shows that the conception of IL predicates as permanent and stative cannot be maintained. The existence of nonstative IL predicates is demonstrated through analyzing the correlation between the syntactic presence of certain projections (specifically, prepositional complements) and process-like aspect properties. This detailed examination of IL predicates in the domains of inner aspect, outer aspect, and tense will be welcomed by scholars and students with an interest in event structure, tense, and aspect.

Die Arbeit zielt auf eine systematische Beschreibung verschiedener Lesarten von würde + Infinitiv unter Berücksichtigung sowohl synchroner als auch diachroner Aspekte dieser Erscheinung. Die zentrale Hypothese ist, dass dieser Periphrase eine grundlegende semantische Basisstruktur zugrunde liegt und dass sich das Spektrum ihrer Gebrauchsweisen als je spezifische Realisierung dieser Basisstruktur darstellen lässt. Die Bedeutungsschablone ist kompositionell aus zwei Komponenten aufgebaut: das sind die evidentielle werden-Komponente und die modale Konjunktiv II-Komponente. Die unterschiedliche kontextinduzierte Realisierung dieser beiden Bedeutungskomponenten führt zur Entstehung distinktiver Lesarten von würde + Infinitiv. Auf der Grundlage der synchron erarbeiteten semantischen Basisstruktur wird die diachrone Entwicklung der Konstruktion als ein verzweigter Grammatikalisierungsprozess in seinen wichtigen Ablaufphasen beschrieben. Es wird nachgewiesen, dass das heutige Deutsch zwei distinktive Lesarten dieser Fügung mit unterschiedlichen Grammatikalisierungsgraden aufweist.Die Ergebnisse werden durch die Auswertung von zwei diachronen Textkorpora (zum Gegenwartsdeutschen und zum Frühneuhochdeutschen) untermauert.

Presenting cutting-edge research in syntax and semantics, this important volume furthers theoretical claims in generative linguistics and represents a significant addition to present scholarship in the field. Leading scholars present crosslinguistic studies dealing with clausal architecture, negation, and tense and aspect, and the issue of whether a statistical model can by itself capture the richness of human linguistic abilities. Taken together, these contributions elegantly show how theoretical tools can propel our understanding of language beyond pretheoretical descriptions, especially whe
