Reviews

Crosslinguistic views on tense, aspect and modality is an impressive collection of relevant papers ... the scope of the book is both broad and up-to-date, providing insights into grammatical categories which interest various specialists, ranging from theory-inspired linguists to practice-focused pedagogues. in: Belgian Journal of English Language and Literatures (BELL) There is much here that is thought-provoking for the French scholar, and which shows that issues regarding the meaning of the interactions of tense and mood and aspect seem best identified by close comparison of data from different languages. The approaches taken here provide examples of contemporary theoretical orientations to tense, mood and aspect. ... the semantics specialist more then anyone else will appreciate this volume as a statement of current research and research interests in semantics in European languages. in: New Zealand Journal of French Studies, Vol. 27, No. 1, 2006 While not all of papers follow the same semantic theory, the papers in this volume are an interesting and valuable contribution towards a tense-aspect-modality description of languages. in: LINGUIST List 16.1544, Sat.
