by location of time i believe rolf means absolute past, present, future. as to comrie, i am not sure: maybe just "grammaticalization of temporal information". i did not have direct access to his books on tense and aspect. i too understand location of time in this spirit.
the next question is: how to define the relevant temporal information grammaticalized in BH; this is what i called "type of time" recall that grammaticalization is usually defined as a process that shifts semantic values from the lexical to the grammatical, e.g. english will shift from "verb: want" to "pre-verbal auxiliary word indicating future tense". actually, this definition is also not precise: grammaticalization can also change one grammatical value in another. e.g. in the latin languages the passive became participle. as to "quality of time", i am not sure what you are speaking about. nir cohen On Wed, 4 Sep 2013 01:39:34 -0400, Isaac Fried wrote > Not clear to me how "location of time" is supposed to be grammaticalized also > for "type of time" (and why not also quality of time). > > Isaac Fried, Boston University > > > > On Sep 4, 2013, at 12:53 AM, Nir cohen - Prof. Mat. wrote: > if tense is the grammaticalized location of time, then the question is, what > type of time is being grammaticalized in BH -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org)
