- More about The Present in Linguistic Expressions of Temporality: Case Studies from Australian English and Indigenous Australian Languages
This book explores Present Time Expressions (PTEs) and their semantic and pragmatic representations, showing how a better understanding of them can provide insights into temporal systems of languages. It draws on data from Australian English and Indigenous Australian languages and proposes a theory of the flexibility of PTEs' uses and their centrality in language. It will be of interest to scholars in semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and philosophy of language, as well as those studying Indigenous Australian Languages and Australian English.

This comprehensive volume delves into the realm of Present Time Expressions (PTEs), offering a profound exploration of their semantic and pragmatic representations. It begins by establishing the premise that tenses, aspectual viewpoint markers, and temporal expressions possess a semantic core that is further pragmatically enriched and manipulated by speakers during communication. Building upon this foundation, the book introduces cutting-edge theories on the linguistic expression of temporality, emphasizing the urgent need to enhance our understanding of PTEs. This encompasses a wide range of temporal expressions, including tenses of the present and words like 'now.'
The volume draws upon extensive data from Australian English and Indigenous Australian languages to support its overarching objective of developing a theory that accounts for the diverse uses of PTEs and their pivotal role in language. By highlighting the flexibility of PTEs and their centrality in language, the book sheds light on the implications for future research in pragmatic and semantic change.
This book holds immense appeal to graduate students and researchers in the fields of semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and philosophy of language, as well as those with a keen interest in exploring Indigenous Australian Languages and Australian English. Its in-depth analysis and insightful perspectives will undoubtedly contribute to the advancement of our knowledge in these domains.
