| Research Abstract |
This study pointed out and investigated differences and similarities in tense phenomena between Japanese and some major West-European languages including English. In particular, (1) by taking constructively factors related with tense such as auxiliaries, aspect, modality and evidentiality as well as the speaker's subjectivity, we developed a tense theory which provides a basis for a unified account of tense phenomena of these languages, and (2) we showed how tense phenomena of these languages behave differently and similarly in several linguistic environments affected strongly by subjective factors.
