In this theory, grammatical constructions, like words, are conventionalized form-meaning pairs, which are best described not only with respect to their intrinsic semantic values, but also with respect to the functional oppositions in which they participate.Routledge studies in Germanic linguistics ;4.Grammar, Comparative and generalAspectGrammar, Comparative and generalTemporal constructionsGrammar, Comparative and generalTenseSpace and time in languageGrammar, Comparative and generalAspect.Grammar, Comparative and generalTemporal constructions.Grammar, Comparative and generalTense.Space and time in language.415Michaelis Laura A.1964-254252MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783726403321Aspectual grammar and past-time reference3773227UNINA
