Book Description
This volume gathers nine contributions dealing with Aorists and Perfects. Drinka challenges the notion of Aoristic Drift in Romance languages. Walker considers two emergent uses of the Perfect in British English. Jara seeks to determine the constraints on tense choice within narrative discourse in Peruvian Spanish. Henderson argues for a theory based on Langacker’s ‘sequential scanning’ in Chilean and Uruguayan Spanish. Delmas looks at ’Ua in Tahitian, a polysemic particle with a range of aspectual and modal meanings. Bourdin addresses the expression of anteriority with just in English. Yerastov examines the distribution of the transitive be Perfect in Canadian English. Fryd offers a panchronic study of have-less perfect constructions in English. Eide investigates counterfactual present perfects in Mainland Scandinavian dialects.

Book Description
Excerpt from On the Rendering Into English of the Greek Aorist and Perfect: With New Appendices on the New Testament Use of Gap and of OynThis is much as if any one knowing that the Iberian Peninsula is of about the same extent as France, and that they are both tolerably compact in shape, should conclude that if maps of these countries drawn to the same scale be compared by superposition (as we prove the equality of certain pairs of triangles or segments of circles in some of the familiar propositions of Euclid), they will at least very nearly coincide. Let him try the experiment, and he will find that here France will largely overlap, there the Peninsula, and if the maps are correctly drawn, by no ingenuity can one be made to fit with any approach to exactness upon the other. Correctly drawn: dropping the figure I affirm that the English Past, used according to the true English will largely fail to coincide with the Aorist of the Greek verb; and so of the two Perfects.Moreover I do not propose to subject these tenses to complete and exhaustive treatment, and to go once more over all the ground that the labours of so many able and eminent grammarians have covered.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This book analyzes the existence of the three nuances of the perfect tense occurring in the Greek New Testament: resultative-stative, anterior (current relevance), and simple past. The ancient Greek perfect expresses a resultative-stative nuance, with intransitivity dominant. Some of these archaic perfects survived up to the Koine period and appear in the Greek New Testament. In Classical Greek, the perfect went through a transition from resultative to anterior (current relevance) with increasing transitivity. In the Koine period, the Greek perfect shows another semantic change from the anterior to simple past. In the end, the perfect merged with the aorist, ending up in decay. It disappeared until the modern Greek development of a perfect forming using the auxiliary ἔχω.
