aspect and mood in the future

[Hedvig Skirgård]

​Dear Sergey,

Yes there are, two of the relevant references are even up free online:

Dahl, Östen. 1985. Tense and aspect systems. Oxford: Blackwell.
H
ere's a link to a free PDF of Dahl (1985
<http://www2.ling.su.se/staff/oesten/recycled/Tense&aspectsystems.pdf>)

Östen Dahl, Viveka Velupillai. 2013. The Future Tense.
​ ​
In: Dryer, Matthew S. & Haspelmath, Martin (eds.)
​ ​
The World Atlas of Language Structures Online.
​ ​
Leipzig: Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
http://wals.info/chapter/67

​I'm sure others will suggest lots of other literature here on this list,
but I thought I'd tell you about these two right away since they're so
easily available.

Here are two more very relevant references:

Dahl, Ö. 2006. Future Tense and Future Time Reference. vol. 4. Encyclopedia
of Language & Linguistics, ed. by Keith Brown. 704-706. Oxford: Elsevier.
​ (might be freely available through your university library too)​


Dahl, Östen. 2000. The grammar of future time reference in European
languages. In Tense and aspect in the languages of Europe, ed. by Östen
Dahl, 309-328. Berlin: de Gruyter

Sharing is caring, if you stumble across something you think I might find
interesting then send it my way. I do the same.

Please forgive me for any mistakes of orthography (especially Swedish and
French diacritics), I try to answer as fast as possible and sometimes that
results in less than optimal key board output.
