The Oxford Handbook of Tense and Aspect is substantial, well organised, carefully edited and cross-referenced. It is a comprehensive and high-quality survey of work on tense, aspect and related categories, presenting the results of research in an area of investigation which is not easy to encompass. It offers a clear picture of mainstream work in the field, carried out during the last several decades in what has become known as the "western tradition " of tense and aspect studies. On the whole, the volume is accessible, offering adequate reading to a target audience ranging from advanced students, linguists, philosophers of language, computational linguists or industrial researchers. Last but not least, it demonstrates excellent editorial work...a landmark publication which has every chance of becoming a standard work of reference. * Linguist List * It deserves a place of choice in university libraries and on scholars' bookshelves. * Marc Fryd, Cercles *
