- Reference
This Cahiers Chronos volume reports on new and ongoing research on tense, aspect and modality in which a variety of languages has been gathered. The languages discussed by the authors include (in alphabetical order): Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Russian and Spanish.
The articles form a selection of the papers presented at the 5th Chronos Conference that took place at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands, in June 2002. We have categorized the papers into three sections: Tense, Aspect and Modality. Obviously, this ordering is somewhat arbitrary given that some of the papers cross these rather rigid boundaries, as they discuss the interplay of tense and aspect or tense and modality.
This book is of interest for scholars in the field of semantics, logic, syntax, and comparative linguistics.

Review
"Crosslinguistic views on tense, aspect and modality" is an impressive collection of relevant papers the scope of the book is both broad and up-to-date, providing insights into grammatical categories which interest various specialists, ranging from theory-inspired linguists to practice-focused pedagogues. in: "Belgian Journal of English Language and Literatures" (BELL)
There is much here that is thought-provoking for the French scholar, and which shows that issues regarding the meaning of the interactions of tense and mood and aspect seem best identified by close comparison of data from different languages. The approaches taken here provide examples of contemporary theoretical orientations to tense, mood and aspect. the semantics specialist more then anyone else will appreciate this volume as a statement of current research and research interests in semantics in European languages. in: "New Zealand Journal of French Studies," Vol. 27, No. 1, 2006
While not all of papers follow the same semantic theory, the papers in this volume are an interesting and valuable contribution towards a tense-aspect-modality description of languages. in: "LINGUIST List" 16.1544, Sat. May 14 2005"
