Produktbeschreibung
This book focuses on the complex nature of the present perfect tense in English and aims to provide a fresh semantic interpretation. It delves into the challenges of differentiating it from the simple past tense and whether it should be classified as a "tense" or an "aspect". Ambiguity in present perfect constructions is explored, and existing theories based on "indefiniteness" or "current relevance" parameters are criticized for their inadequacy. The distinction between tense and aspect is also discussed, with various interpretations complicating its classification. Defining tense and aspect itself is a challenge, making a consistent understanding elusive. The book examines the ambiguity of the present perfect, considering semantic frames and the influence they have on its interpretation. Ultimately, it aims to unravel the complexities of the present perfect and offer new insights into this intriguing linguistic phenomenon.
