Bringing together fifty years' worth of cross-linguistic research,
this pioneering monograph explores the complex interaction between
tense, mood and aspect. It looks at the long way of combining
elementary semantic units at the bottom of phrase structure up to
and including the top of a sentence. Rejecting ternary tense as
blocking compositionality, it introduces three levels obtained by
binary tense oppositions. It also counters an outdated view on
motion by assuming that change is not expressed as having an
inherent goal but rather as dynamic interaction between different
number systems that allows us to package information into countable
and continuous units. It formally identifies the central role of a
verb in a variety of argument structures and integrates adverbial
modifiers into the compositional structure at different tense
levels of phrase structure. This unique contribution to the field
will be essential reading for advanced students and researchers in
the syntax-semantics interface.
