ABSTRACT
In this chapter, we inquire into how language structures and encodes time. The analysis of linguistic time has an involved history, with logical and structural/typological camps (Comrie 1985; Dahl 1985; Prior 1967; Reichenbach 1947; Rescher and Urquhart 1971). In our own foray into the matter, we try to extract the accepted findings from both practices in an attempt to present the necessary elements of any linguistic system of time.
