Future reference

[Atila Louzada]

Dear funknetters, four colleagues and I are presently engaged in a function-
based study of the verb in Brazilian Portuguese aiming at answering the general
question HOW IS FUNCTION X CODED? My indiv idual project deals with future
reference in a broader sense. That means I will consider a reference
standpoint and treat as future reference not only from-this-moment-on events,
but also from-moment-x-on ones. I welcome suggestions on readings and
approaches to the problem. Thank you for your attention. AL
