In this way tenses reflect the particular nature of the narrative act of fiction-making. The temporal meaning of tenses is determined relative to that narrative segment being actualized as the foreground of the story, as its fictive present. In general, they are evident and possibly sharp, with the roof_line generally tensed, while the accent_line can be sharp. Rather, increasing use was concentrated in formal combinations where the progressive was already prevalent, namely the present and past tenses. Her long-standing habit of tensing the lower back muscles was too ingrained for her to develop strength in her lower abdomen. I also wonder how many past tenses he thinks it has! Why should the comprehension deficit, involving traces, be superficially at least so different from the production deficit, involving tensed verb forms? In the former, reflexive clitics do not agree in person or number with the syntactic subject and attach to the participle in compound past tenses. Following this methodology, children in our samples were asked to generate the past tenses of low- and high-frequency irregular and regular verbs. Our prediction is that the hierarchy of difficulty for the imparfait will be the converse of that for the other two tenses. Children in both age groups differentiated all three tenses in the adverbial control condition. Of the 324 occurrences of be, all but one were unambiguously tensed. We stop ourselves from expressing a feeling by tensing the muscles that oppose the movement that would express the feeling. Finally, the usefulness of the traditional teaching approach based on a decontextualised presentation of all six tenses is questioned. Many akls will not be tensed, some are even round; in fact, the use of precise circles can bring to mind a world of fantasy. The learner arrives at irregular past tenses by blocking default rule formation with a more specific form. In sentences with simple tenses it always occurs post-verbally, before any complements or satellites, as in (57). Not only does this lead to the contradictions just noted concerning tensed verbs and finite clauses, it leads to further inconsistencies and complexities. The adverbialist needs to say more about statements that are not significantly tensed. As a consequence, there are fewer character lines, the akls are generally tensed, not sharp and not wet. Three categories of analysis were applied to this period : distribution of verb tenses, use of person morphology, and marking of number and gender morphology. He averted syncope by tensing the muscle of his arms and legs or bending forwards as if to tie his shoelaces. The accent_line can be also tensed, or a wet curve can be preferred while the roof_line counterbalances this softness effect with a more tensed behavior. Regression to the mean predicts that high frequency irregular past tenses should not have, on average, accompanying stems of higher frequency. The table also shows that the use of certain tenses is very rare. Furthermore, simple and complex tenses may be acquired differently. In addition, all speakers completed ®ll-in-the-gap questionnaires designed to elicit supplementary information about the choice of tenses. There were no activity predicates included in this task because they were odd with both tenses and did not ®t the design of the test. The authors observe that the possible tenses are not marked for a specific aspectual feature and are compatible with an unspecified time localization. The three- and four-year-olds were able to differentiate the past and present tenses when the past-time event was both complete and incomplete. With the test sentences, the three-year-olds strongly differentiated all three tenses ; the two-year-olds succeeded here as well, though somewhat more marginally. Given the pragmatics of this task and the timing of the query, there is therefore one right location to choose for each of the tenses. In singing or speaking, the folds are brought close together and tensed. Analysis of test results show linguistic development in use of verb tenses and expressive language. The present habitual and other tenses, for example, are characterised by a high tone on the stem penult, as in (3). However, this is not the moral drawn by the two contributors who notice iterated tenses. Since this is not indicated morphologically in the regular way, it should take children some time to learn that they are in fact tensed. The latency to produce the past tenses of irregular verbs was related to word frequency (faster production of high- rather than low-frequency irregulars). To explain this, we need to take a closer look at the temporal structure of tenses. As we noted in section 1, tenses in the complements of future reporting verbs are interpreted relative to the time indicated by the reporting verb. All three, then, can be considered past tenses (with the future perfect in the past making a fourth). They therefore speak of 'absolute tenses with relative interpretation', but not of 'relative tenses'. The next chapter discusses the use of tenses in possible-world conditionals. The use of other tenses and aspects is not, of course, ruled out. The difference between present and past tenses is explained as a difference in the speaker's focal concern. The test also included 14 distractor sentences (7 logical and 7 illogical) using other tenses. In (4) the embedded clause has a tensed verb (the auxiliary is). In both languages, the most common verbs tend to be irregular, with suppletive forms for their past and, in some cases, future tenses. Considering again the examples (f) to (i), we find that there are only two tenses: present or past. However, some nonstandard past tenses cannot be explained in terms of a nonstandard quali®er system. Hypothesis 4 is thus confirmed for the future tenses, but not for the past tenses, although there is a trend in the right direction. Other tenses which behave similarly are given below. Both are notional in essence; they are compared selectively by way of their respective treatment of quantification and past tenses. One case involves a long sequence of wordplay in which both participants humorously produce incorrect verb tenses. The predictions are that if a language is tensed it will have nouny adjectives, and if a language has nouny adjectives it will be tensed. Conjugating the ' tenses ' of function : discordance among hypothetical, experimental, and enacted function in older adults. Each verb is illustrated pictorially to show the action before, during, and after its occurrence, corresponding to the future, present, and past tenses. Such studies have typically targeted core syntactic structures such as simple verb tenses, question formation, and negation. She had been tensed with the claustrophobic environment of the haveli life, but eventually grows to love its seclusion. English tenses in indirect reported speech appear to behave in unusual ways. To express different tenses or aspects of an action, the personal pronouns are conjugated - not the verbs. The child who hears ' 'had' ' or ' 'hat' ' may mark it ®rst as past-causal before it grasps that it covers a wide variety of past tenses. Absolute tenses have speech time as their deictic center (cf. relative tenses). The two dictators avoided tensing the rope too much not only because they professed a sort of mutual admiration. First, it tests all three tenses (past, present, and future) in the same experiment. Most verbs can be inflected in all tenses. Sentences with activities were hard to construct, and the responses with the two tenses yielded contradictory interpretations most of the time. Demonstrates almost no control of basic grammar structures and verb tenses. To finish with the linguistic factors, we are also going to look at the possible influence of the syntactic context of the sentence on the alternation of future tenses. Note that the model receives no feedback on the past tenses it generates, unlike most other models but in apparent correspondence with the facts about child language learning. Chapter 5 discusses manner (complement) and negative adverbs in both simple and periphrastic tenses. The facial contortions of a person in pain would seem to contribute little to the escape or suppressive functions of body contortions and tensing elsewhere in the body. Once the pasttense rule is learned, the generation of past tenses will largely be determined by a competition between the general rule and retrieval of specific cases. Overriding applies freely, so rule (b) is itself overridden by rule (c) in the case of an 'inverting' verb (a tensed auxiliary whose other properties require subject+auxiliary inversion). In short, there is nothing unusual going on here with the tenses, and a hypothesis which sets up special mechanisms to handle such examples is missing the point. Similarly, the initial coding had indicated that 83% of the novel regulars were correctly formed past tenses, but the phonetic analysis revealed only one correctly suffixed item. What tenses are used after / wish? Not all the book speaks of tenses as predicates. Next, we compare the future tenses. The other seven exceptions are all instances in which an explicitly tensed auxiliary is not inverted, and in six of the seven cases the wh-word is why. Perhaps the one trait that distinguishes be from all other verbs the most, though, is that it has -s forms in both the present and past tenses. The vocabulary need not consist only of words or stems, but it may also consist of grammatical elements, such as details of noun classes or tenses in verbs. In the text of these reports we studied tenses, voice (active and passive), and modality in both languages, focusing in particular on use, context, frequency, and linguistic function. In combination with simple tenses, a seit-adverbial specifies the aspect time. Of course, an in-depth investigation is needed to confirm that a construction-based treatment of periphrasis is really generalizable to compound tenses other than the perfect aspect. When the embedded clause is tensed, they are always introduced by the pronoun ce ' it ', resulting in a free-relative type structure not required in indirect questions involving other wh-words. The alternative tensed view of time or 'presentism ' holds that there is an absolute past, present, and future, and only the present has genuine ontological status. The difference between our point of view and the others is that we account for these alternations by tensing rather than laxing, both diachronically and synchronically. A verb:tensed has a subject-number. 12. Present perfect tenses: towards an integrated functional account. Many of the lexical problems are likely candidates for the former while difficulties relating to the use of tenses, articles or prepositions will feature prominently among the latter. Turning now to the oral production task, after the narratives were transcribed, the percentage distribution of different tenses was calculated for each subject and then pooled by group. Both authors propose that verbs are underlyingly toneless and that the surface high tones that are found in most tenses are associated to the stem by morphologically conditioned constraints. The nature of future tenses. Sequence of tenses in that-clauses. I feel a bit tensed up about it. From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 I may not be speaking precisely to the amendments proposed, but what puzzles me are the tenses used in subsection (1).

From the Hansard archive Example from the Hansard archive. Contains Parliamentary information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0 Fluoride has an effect on the latter, which has the immense and amazing capacity to keep tensing and flexing.
