Opis

Investigating the temporal structure of language, this text deals with issues in the understanding of tense and aspect, proposes a new approach to the main problems in the area, and seeks to establish the universal semantic properties of two important and contentious aspectual categories, perfectivity and imperfectivity.

Recenzje

extremely lucid and forceful...This book is exceptionally clear and well written...I wish there were more semantic and syntactic texts of this exceptional clarity and reader-friendliness.
