Abstract:

Linguistic construal of time lies at the center of language and language use;
it is also one of the cognitive foundations of culture. The focus of the
papers in this volume is on historical developments of genetically different
aspect and tense systems across continents, with contributions on the Sogeram
languages of Papua New Guinea, the Arandic languages of Australia, Kisikongo
Bantu, and Japanese. In addition, two prototypical Indo-European tense-aspect
systems, those of Vedic and Latin, are analyzed in a comparative perspective.
Across language groups and continents, the general principles revealed by the
studies presented here contribute towards a novel and deepening understanding
of tense and aspect. They contribute not only to modelling and theory, but
also to a better understanding of processes in individual
languages."Originally published as special issue of the "Journal of Historical
Linguistics" 10:2 (2020).
