I find that aspect and tense are hard to pin down in my conlangs. Is
there a good tutorial on tense and aspect on the web anywhere? Come
to think of it, what books would people recommend? I know of the ones
by Comrie.
What I'd like is something to explain how different languages handle
tenses and aspects -- what sorts of distinctions they make and what
things they collapse together.
I'd also like to read about the interaction between tense and aspect,
and perhaps voice and mood.
