"Binnick's is the only work with which I am familiar that provides
the reader (whether student or advanced scholar) with so broad and
deep a perspective. The range covered is impressive: from classical
Greek and Latin grammar through to the latest proposals in formal
semantics."--Bernard Comrie, author of The World's Major
Languages
"Most welcome since it provides the reader with a comprehensive
perspective, both diachronically and synchronically, into this very
complicated area....It gives the reader a tremendous amount of
impressive data that are fully analyzed, explained and
evaluated....There is no question that Time and the Verb is one of
the most important books to have appeared on tense and aspect. No
future linguist will be able to ignore the book if he or she is
interested in tense and aspect at all. In this sense, the
contribution Binnick has made is enormous."--Canadian Journal of
Linguistics
"An important contribution to linguistics....[Binnick's]
scholarship is breathtakingly compendious...but never
gratuitous.... accessible and useful to both scholars and
laypersons....anyone interested in tense, aspect, or time studies
generally MUST read and reread this book. It sums up, and now
defines, the discipline. But Time and the Verb will also be of
benefit beyond this discipline. Syntax, morphology, and semantics
are all so well served...that
no one working in those areas, indeed no linguist, and no one
interested in either language or time, could fail to be enriched by
it."--Word
"This is a work of great value."--Language
