More about the book
The paper explores the contrasts between English and German, both Germanic languages, focusing on their grammatical differences, particularly in tense and aspect. It clarifies that tense serves as a deictic and relational category, positioning events on a timeline relative to the moment of speaking. In contrast, aspect examines the internal temporal structure of situations without referencing a specific timeline. This analysis highlights the complexities of language types and their implications for understanding linguistic features in both languages.
