Abstract

The papers collected in this volume were presented at the Workshop on Tense and Aspect in Generative Grammar, which was held at the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in July 2010. The goal of the workshop was to bring together researchers working on the syntax and semantics of tense and aspect in the framework of Generative Grammar. A total of sixteen papers were presented at the workshop, focusing both on theoretical aspects and on L1 and L2 acquisition. Seven of these papers are published in the present volume.
