"This book investigates the temporal structure of language. It deals with central 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." "Aspect and Reference Time will interest all scholars of the syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of aspect and tense. The author's clear exposition and cross-linguistic approach make it a useful basis for courses at graduate level."--BOOK JACKET.
Industry Reviews
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. * Roumyana Slabakova, Folia Linguistica *
