This paper investigates the meanings of the tenses and the system of time reference in English. It starts from a discussion of the celebrated theory of Reichenbach (1947) and the alternative recently proposed in Comrie's (1985) book on tense. The author argues that both theories are deficient in certain respects, and develops a theory which ...

Does the name Winnie the Pooh sound familiar? Author A.A. Milne is best remembered for creating the fluffy, yellow teddy bear. But before he became a famous children’s book author Milne wrote a few adult fiction books. “The Red House Mystery” is one of these. In this mystery novel, the guests in a man’s home become detectives as they try to find a ...
“The Secret Garden” is a touching story about the power of friendship. Mary Lennox is a spoiled and rude little girl sent by her parents to live at her uncle’s huge home. One day while exploring outside the home, she discovers a secret: a locked garden. The secret garden helps her make a friend, and thanks to the love of their friendship she learns...
Everything you know about pirates probably came from this one book: wooden legs, parrots on the shoulder and treasure maps. “Treasure Island” is the story of a boy who sails on a ship searching for treasure, but instead finds himself surrounded by terrible pirates. It’s also a story about growing up, full of action and adventure.
“Black Beauty” is one the best-selling books of all time, and for a good reason—this story about a horse teaches kindness towards animals and people. The story is told by the horse. It describes his life and the many cruel people and difficult times he had to live through before finding peace. It’s a great read even if you’re not a fan of horses.
“Heidi” is a book often described as being “for children and for people who love children.” It does a great job of showing the world through a little girl’s eyes as she explores the mountains in Switzerland. She makes many friends along the way, but also deals with the kinds of fears that a child would have, like being alone and away from the peopl...
These days not many of us have butlers (servants hired to care for you and your house) but whenever people talk about a butler, his name sometimes comes up as Jeeves. That name comes from Wodehouse’s series of books featuring the perfect butler Jeeves, and the many humorous adventures he and his employer had.
Jealousy and revenge are the main themes of “Wuthering Heights,” which is the name of the farmhouse where the story takes place. This book can be hard to get through, and it’s not because of the vocabulary. It’s a hard book to read because of all the cruelty in it. Still, this is a good book if you’re interested in dramas and passions.
Robin Hood is a special kind of thief: he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. This book is a collection of stories about the legendary, kindhearted thief and his group of outlaw friends. Be prepared for many fun and funny moments, and some with a more serious tone. This book is perfect for reading little by little, since the stories are onl...
There are many war books that show how terrible war is physically—all the violence and death. “The Red Badge of Courage” talks instead about the psychological terrors of war. It’s told from the point of view of a soldier in the Civil War who’s actually running away from the battlefield. It uses many symbols and metaphors to discuss the important th...
Bernard Comrie defines tense as the grammaticalisation of location in time. In this textbook he introduces readers to the range of variation found in tense systems across the languages of the world, bringing together a rich collection of illustrative material that student and specialist alike will find invaluable.
This preface summarizes the wide-ranging claims about grammatical universals made by Greenberg (1966), a short book that is much less known by linguists than his 1963 article but that is equally important for understanding language systems.
