Abstract:

Any analysis of the syntax of time is based on a paradox: it must
include a syntax-based theory of both tense construal and event
construal. Yet while time is undimensional, events have a complex
spatiotemporal structure that reflects their human participants. How
can an event be flattened to fit into the linear time axis? Chomsky's
The Minimalist Program, published in 1995, offers a way to address
this problem. The studies collected in The Syntax of Time investigate
whether problems concerning the construal of tense and aspect can be
reduced to syntactic problems for which the basic mechanism and
principles of generative grammar already provide solutions.

These studies, recent work by leading internationaql scholars in the
field, offer varied perspectives on the syntax of tense and the
temporal construal of events: models of tense interpretation,
construal of verbal forms, temporal aspect versus lexical aspect, the
relation between the event and its argument structure, and the
interaction of case with aktionsart or tense construal. Advances in
the theory of temporal interpretation in the sentence are also applied
to the temporal interpretation of nominals.
