摘要
英语中时直接反映的并非自然时间而是本文提出的语言时间。依据语言时间构想 ,作者设计了语言时间时轴并把它用于分析英语时体本质 ,得出了关于时体的新定义以及包含两时 (过去时与现在时 )四体 (一般体、进行体、完成体与将来体 )的英语时体新分类体系。新体系揭示了英语时体结构固有的高度规律性与有序性 ,同时也证明了新体系赖以构建的语言时间原则具有较强的归纳力与解释力。
In English, tense reflects directly not natural time but what this paper calls linguistic time. Based on the conception of linguistic time, the linguistic time axis is designed and applied to the analysis of the essentials of English tenses and aspects, resulting in new definitions of tense and aspect and a new classification of the English tense aspect constructions which consists of two tenses (past and present) and four aspects (simple, progressive, perfect and future). The new tense aspect system reveals the great regularity and perfect order hidden in the English tense aspect constructions and at the same time affords proof of the great explaining and summarizing capacities of the linguistic time centered principles the new system is built on.
