Heinecke, Johannes: Temporal Deixis in Welsh and Breton

In this study a language-independent theoretical framework of temporal and aspectual relations is established in order to enable language comparison. Several well-known approaches to the field of research on time and aspect have been evaluated in order to find the most adequate descriptive system. In its central part this volume thoroughly examines the differing methods employed by Welsh and Breton to express temporal and aspectual relations. Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Theoretical approaches; 3. Time and Aspectuality; 4. The Celtic languages; 5. Time and aspectuality in the Welsh verbal system; 6. Time and aspectuality in the Breton verbal system; 7. Comparison and results. Appendix: Verbal paradigms; Glossary.
