TY - BOOK AU - Christian Heyde Petersen PY - 2021 CY - Lausanne, Switzerland PB - Peter Lang Verlag TI - Formal and Functional Perspectives on Tense and Related Categories UR - https://www.peterlang.com/document/1096919 N2 - This book explores the gap that has developed between two sides in linguistics: the formal tradition and the functional tradition. It discusses fundamental issues such as tense, aspect and action by examining and comparing insights from the two traditions with a view to determining whether there are any possibilities of future bridge-building between the two approaches. This study focuses on comparing the actual output of different linguistic approaches and examines their ‘usefulness’. A major aim is, therefore, to evaluate and identify the most useful approach.
