After arguing for a temporal definition of past tenses, I reinterpret the classical opposition between temporal uses and modal uses in terms of the speakers's referential or subjective intentionality. I further distinguish between the epistemic uses - which express the speaker's assessment of the probability of the denoted situation - and the illocutory uses - which express the speaker's degree of commitment in her speech act. I finally suggest an analysis of two epistemic uses of the English simple past and the French imperfect, namely their conditional use and optative use, thanks to the notion of dialogism, which refers to the heterogeneity of the enunciative sources of a given utterance. 410 0$aHuman cognitive processing ;$vv. 29. 606 $aCognitive grammar 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xModularity 606 $aPsycholinguistics 615 0$aCognitive grammar. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xModularity. 615 0$aPsycholinguistics. 676 $a415/.6 701 $aPatard$b Adeline$01645323 701 $aBrisard$b Frank$0176522 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827804603321 996 $aCognitive approaches to tense, aspect and epistemic modality$93991710 997 $aUNINA
