Description

Tense is one of the central issues of linguistics, and has been the focus of much attention in recent years. In this book, Declerck offers a detailed discussion of the temporal structures that are expressed by the combination of tense forms with the conjunction when . He is able to develop and test his earlier model and in doing so reveals the close relation between the semantics of when and the English tense system. Included are: a detailed functional typology of English when -clauses a model of the English tense system an analysis of the possible tense combination, both normal and special, in head clauses and when -clauses a discussion of the many different temporal interpretations of when -clauses a treatment of the special class of 'narrative when -clauses' The specific focus is on how situations are located in time sentences involving both a head-clause and a when -clause. His thorough investigation of the when -clause gives a fascinating insight into the English tense system which will interest linguists and all those involved with teaching English.
