In the last two decades scholars have suspected that the past tenses endings may actually differ by marking evidentiality and inferentiality. The present study not only confirms this, but, using 350 glossed and analyzed examples drawn from a variety of sources, shows distinctions of degrees of remoteness as well, and details significant differences between the spoken and written languages. 410 0$aEmpirical Approaches to Linguistic Theory$v1. 606 $aMongolian language$xVerb 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense 615 0$aMongolian language$xVerb. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense. 676 $a494/.2356 700 $aBinnick$b Robert I$01786412 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954830003321 996 $aThe past tenses of the Mongolian verb$94318034 997 $aUNINA
