This comprehensive examination of tense and grammatical aspect provides fascinating insight into how languages indicate distinctions of time. Providing an in-depth survey of the scholarship from the ancient Greeks through the 1980s, Time and the Verb explains and evaluates every major issue and theory, concentrating on familiar Classical and modern European languages. An invaluable reference tool as well as a major contribution to the history of linguistic sciences, this book will be the standard against which future work on tense and aspect is measured.

Mandarin Chinese as an aspect language has played an important role in the development of aspect theory. Nearly all of the major works on aspect theory make reference to Chinese. We decided to write this book because we felt that in spite of the importance of Chinese to aspect theory the exploration of aspect in Chinese, and by association aspect theory, was incomplete. Hence we began the work presented in this book which gives what we believe to be an accurate and complete account of aspect in Mandarin Chinese, encompassing both situation aspect and viewpoint aspect.
