Editorial Reviews

Addresses the puzzling phenomena of the same tense sometimes meaning very different things, and more than one tense meaning the same thing. The 11 papers were selected and revised from a December conference in Louvain-la Neuve, Belgium. Among the topics are the passe simple and the imparfait of French, the so-called tense simplification in English, preterit and perfect in Dutch, and tense and aspect in a second language.
