Smith. 330 $aIt is a fact that tense, aspect and modality together form one of the most recurring and active areas of research in contemporary syntax and semantics, as well as in other disciplines of linguistics. A large number of syntactic and semantic phenomena are concerned by the temporal-aspectual-modal level of representation: information about time, aspect and modality is part of virtually all sentences; inflexion is quite widely considered as the core of syntactic projections. Because of this very crucial situation and role in the sentence structure, temporal-aspectual and modal information concerns virtually any part of the sentence and this information has scope over the whole characterization of the eventuality denoted by the sentence. This book is an up-to-date milestone for the studies of temporality and language, in particular regarding syntax and semantics, but with incidental hints to pragmatics and theories of human natural language understanding. Through this very tight selection of 15 papers (originally delivered during the 6th Chronos colloquium), tenses, aspect and modality are investigated both at the descriptive and theoretical levels, involving many different Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages. The volume sheds light on a wide array of phenomena that remained too little explored until now. These include the following: modal subordination in Japanese, epistemic modals in Dutch and English in Free Indirect Speech contexts, aspectual readings of idioms, adverb-licensing with the German perfect, French imperfective past compared with English progressive past, infinitival perfect in English, Adult Root Infinitives, economy constraints on temporal subordinations, future modality, past interpretation of present tense in embedded clauses, and time without tenses in Mandarin and Navajo. The book is of interest to scholars and advanced students in the fields of linguistics (general linguistics, semantics, syntax) as well as philosophy and logic. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v185. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTemporal constructions 606 $aModality (Linguistics) 606 $aSemantics 610 $aGeneral linguistics. 610 $asemantics. 610 $asyntax. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTemporal constructions. 615 0$aModality (Linguistics) 615 0$aSemantics. 676 $a415 686 $aET 750$2rvk 701 $aSaussure$b Louis de$01150460 701 $aMoeschler$b Jacques$0156599 701 $aPuska?s$b Genoveva$0897876 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813624803321 996 $aRecent advances in the syntax and semantics of tense, aspect and modality$94067457 997 $aUNINA
