Tense and Aspect: From Semantics to Morphosyntax (Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax)

by Alessandra Giorgi

Tense and Aspect: From Semantics to Morphosyntax (Oxford Studies in Comparative Syntax) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The wide variety of activities involved in the management of the diocese is well illustrated in this collection of over 130 official acts (and references to lost acts) issued by the six archbishops of York between 1070 and 1154. The documents illustrate details of their dealings with the

religious houses and the parish clergy: the confirmation of foundations and endowments, the appropriation of parish churches, the beginning of the process of the ordination of vicarages, and the settlement of land disputes. The acts of this period also demonstrate the attempts of the archbishops to

consolidate and extend their jurisdiction as northern metropolitan.

Synopsis:

This book examines the interactions between the morphosyntax and the semantic interpretation of tense and aspect in the Germanic and Romance languages. These languages diverge not only in their variety of tense and aspectual forms, but also in the distribution and interpretation of given forms. Adopting Noam Chomsky's minimalist framework, Alessandra Giorgi and Fabio Pianesi attempt to provide theoretical explanations for the observed patterns of form and meaning which link the morphosyntactic properties of languages in both universal and language-particular constraints on interpretation.
