The Evolution of Grammar
Tense, Aspect, and Modality in the Languages of the World
This study focuses on the use and meaning of grammatical markers of tense, aspect and modality, and identifies a universal set of grammatical categories. It argues that the same paths of change occur in languages in different phyla and that movement along these paths is in one direction only.
