Abstract:

This volume provides a detailed investigation of perfects from all the
branches of the Indo-European language family, in some cases representing the
first ever comprehensive description. Thorough philological examinations
result in empirically well-founded analyses illustrated with over 940
examples. The unique temporal depth and diatopic breadth of attested
Indo-European languages permits the investigation of both TAME
(Tense-Aspect-Mood-Evidentiality) systems over time and recurring cycles of
change, as well as synchronic patterns of areal distribution and contact
phenomena. These possibilities are fully exploited in the volume. Furthermore,
the cross-linguistic perspective adopted by many authors, as well as the
inclusion of contributions which go beyond the boundaries of the Indo-European
family per se, facilitates typological comparison. As such, the volume is
intended to serve as a springboard for future research both into the semantics
of the perfect in Indo-European itself, and verb systems across the world’s
languages.
