Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. What if English has no tense system at all? What if the forms we call "past," "present," and "future" are not temporal markers, but the visible traces of deeper operators transforming events and world-states? This book advances a bold answer: English verbal meaning is not built from temporal features, but from a vertically ordered stack of operators that reshape the event and the world around it. A Unified Theory of Tense, Anaphora, and Modal Structure presents the Operator-Stacked Verb (OSV) framework, a comprehensive reanalysis of English verbal morphology, futurity, and modality. In this architecture, walked, sang, and went are not past-tense forms but the surface expressions of an Internal Reference Operator that marks an event as realized through internal anaphora. The so-called "present tense" is reconceived as the Open Event State, a default condition rather than a temporal category. Future-referring expressions such as will, be going to, and be about to are unified under a Future Reference Operator that projects events into hypothetical world-states. Above them, modal auxiliaries are reanalyzed as world-state operators that evaluate, negate, and reconstruct the context itself. Drawing on evidence from English, Turkish, Mandarin, Arabic, and Swahili, the book argues that these operators form a universal architectural pattern, with languages differing only in the phonological realization of each operator. The framework explains long-standing puzzles - irregular morphology, modal incompatibilities, futurate presents, counterfactuals, and the ordering of auxiliaries-through a single principle: operators must feed operators of compatible type.
