[Lingtyp] Co-expression of future and past

[Raffaele Simone]

In French the expression tout à l'heure means both "earlier, just now" and "shortly, in a minute".

Best,

Dear Lauren,

In Hindi, the word कल  /kal/ can be interpreted as both 'tomorrow' or 'yesterday'.

Regards,
Seino

Dear colleagues,

My colleague Alan Rumsey and I are working on a small sign language in Western Highlands, Papua New Guinea. The language has a marker which appears to express either remote future or remote past. This co-expression is attributed by users to the fact that both far future and far past events occur many sleep-wake cycles from now.

I am interested in hearing of any other examples you may be aware of where languages overtly mark both future and past with the same marker (whether this be remote or not).

Best regards
Lauren
