Time is the most fundamental category of human cognition and
action, and all human languages have developed many devices to
express it. These include verbal categories, such as tense and
aspect, but also adverbials, particles, and principles of discourse
organisation. This book is intended as a tutorial for the study of
how time is expressed in natural languages. Its chapters take the
reader through a number of foundational issues, such as the various
notions of time and the various means to express it; other chapters
are devoted to more specific questions, such as the acquisition of
time, its modelling in formal semantics and in computational
linguistics, or how its expression can be empirically investigated.
