The result of this study is the article Time and tense of the Indo-European languages.
The third part of this study aims at reviewing the contensive language typology and contributing to the development of the linguistic theory on the basis of the data of an ergative language.Tamio Yanagisawa investigated the verb morphology of the Abzhuy dialect of Abkhaz, a Northwest Caucasian language in Georgia in 2000 and 2001.
