Astrid De Wit (Postdoctoral Researcher, Postdoctoral Researcher, Universite Libre De Bruxelles And University
This book presents an analysis of how speakers of typologically diverse languages report present-time situations. Astrid De Wit brings together cross-linguistic observations from English, French, the English-based creole language Sranan, and various Slavic languages, and relates them to the same phenomenon, the 'present perfective paradox'.
