Aspects of Tense presents a semantic theory of tense, based on data from Italian, English, and Dutch. By arguing that all tenses incorporate temporal and aspectual information, the author offers an explanation for the problematic behavior of tenses in embedded contexts. This approach allows for a unified analysis of Sequence of Tenses (Consecutio Temporum) and its exceptions.
As this study is not committed to a particular theoretical framework, it is of interest to all those concerned with tense, aspect, and Sequence of Tenses.
