Aspect and Reference Time

Author(s)

This book investigates the temporal structure of language. It deals with central issues in the understanding of tense and aspect, proposes a new approach to the main problems in the area, and seeks to establish the universal semantic properties of two important and contentious aspectual categories, perfectivity and imperfectivity. In doing so it reveals previously unsuspected similarities between Russian and English.
