| Abstract |
This chapter discusses grammaticalization paths in the field of tense and aspect from the perspective of a layered, hierarchical approach to grammatical categories, more specifically the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar. Particular attention is paid to the importance of the distinction between absolute and relative tense and between qualitative and quantitative aspect for a proper description of pathways of change.
