| Research Abstract |
Through the analyses of tense systems and tense-related phenomena in various languages such as English, Japanese, German, French, Korean and Dutch, we have clarified some universal characteristics and principles concerning the recognition and expressions of time in human language. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the compositional theory of tense proposed by Naoaki Wada, one of our co-researchers, is very useful and appropriate for the explanation of diverse tense-related phenomena.
