Includes bibliographical references (pages 335-341) and index.
Introduction -- On Studying the Verb -- Chronogenesis I: Aspect -- Chronogenesis II: Mood -- Chronogenesis III: Tense -- The Simple Form I: Activities -- The Simple Form II: States -- The Simple Form III: Prospective Events -- The Subjunctive -- Person in the Verb -- What Does Do Do? -- Compounding with Do -- The Progressive -- The Transcendent Aspect: Perfective Events -- The Transcendent Aspect: Imperfective Events -- The Passive -- Auxiliaries -- The System of Voice: A Hypothesis -- Conclusion.
While the work of Gustave Guillaume (1883-1960) has had an important influence on French linguistics, his theory is not well known in the English-speaking world. Lessons on the English Verb provides a comprehensive treatment of the English verbal system within a Guillaumean theoretical framework - an approach unprecedented in its systemic scope.
