Description
Overall, the book definitely achieves both the goal (quoted at the beginning of this review) 'to give greater prominence to the semantic richness of tense, aspect, modality, and their interactions, in the languages of the world'' and the hope that it ''contributes to the emergent field of semantic typology'.
