• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sentences may pertain to states or processes or events. they may express duration, frequency, habituality, and many other forms of temporality. How do they do this? It is the aspectual properties of sentences in natural languages which allow the user to express temporal structure, and Henk Verkuyl here presents a unified formal system to account for them.
