Thus, some chapters rely on large diachronic corpora and provide new qualitative insight on the evolution of TAM systems through quantitative methods, while others carry out a collostructional analysis of past-tensed verbs using inferential statistics to explore the lexical grammar of verbs. A common goal is to uncover semantic regularities and variation in the TAM systems of the languages under study by taking a close look at context. Such a fine-grained approach contributes to our understanding of the TAM systems from a typological perspective. The focus on well-known Indo-European languages (e.g. French, German, English, Spanish), but also on less commonly studied languages (e.g. Hungarian, Estonian, Avar, Andi, Tagalog) provides a valuable cross-linguistic perspective"--Provided by publisher.Studies in language companion series ;Volume 197.0165-7763Grammar, Comparative and generalTenseModality (Linguistics)Grammar, Comparative and generalAspectEvidentials (Linguistics)Electronic books.Grammar, Comparative and generalTense.Modality (Linguistics)Grammar, Comparative and generalAspect.Evidentials (Linguistics)415/.6Ayoun Dalila1963-Celle AgnèsLansari LaureMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467011103321Tense, aspect, modality, and evidentiality2466948UNINA
