The Present Perfective Paradox across Languages - Oxford Studies of Time in Language and Thought
De Wit, Astrid (Postdoctoral Researcher, Postdoctoral Researcher, Universite Libre de Bruxelles and University of Antwerp)
This book presents an analysis of how speakers of typologically diverse languages report present-time situations. Astrid De Wit brings together cross-linguistic observations from English, French, the English-based creole language Sranan, and various Slavic languages, and relates them to the same phenomenon, the 'present perfective paradox'.
