More about the book
The paper critically examines Jespersen's approach to English tenses, specifically the Present Perfect, Past Tense, and Past Perfect, contrasting it with the more straightforward explanations found in the Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language (CGEL). Jespersen's method focuses on interrelating these tenses through quotations and nuanced argumentation, which may lead to confusion for readers seeking clarity. The analysis highlights the complexity of Jespersen's explanations compared to standard grammar teachings, making it a valuable resource for linguistics students.
