This volume offers an overview of its fortunes since French emerged as a language, provides a description of its distinctive features, and discusses the potential impact of its supposed demise on the whole French verb system. These assumptions are tested against a large corpus of contemporary texts. The study concludes that, despite the erosion of its meaning and its increasingly infrequent use, the simple past tense is still used by native speakers in various contexts, and no single substitute has yet emerged. Nevertheless, the simple past may be evolving into a stylistic marker, making it fertile ground for future cross-linguistic studies. 410 0$aEmpirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory ;$v18. 606 $aFrench language$xTense 606 $aLanguage and linguistics 606 $aLinguistics 615 0$aFrench language$xTense. 615 0$aLanguage and linguistics. 615 0$aLinguistics. 676 $a445/.62 700 $aLabeau$b Emmanuelle$01787198 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 912 $a9910971277503321 996 $aThe Decline of the French Passe?
