Isi artikel

Analyses of complex multiple tense-aspect systems in Bantu lan- guages have commonly treated the various tense markers as situating events at greater and greater remove from the deictic center, i.e., from the time of the act of speaking. In this article, it is proposed that such analyses are insufficient to account for the distribution and uses of the different verbal forms. Instead, tense marking and realis marking constitute two coeval verbal categories that can be unified in a simple dichotomy between a P-domain (the here, real, and now) and conceptually dissociated D-domains.
