| Abstract |
The paper researches the competition between the various future
paradigms in 16th century Romanian. It is especially concerned with the possibility of
the extinct gerundial future to express aspectual features such as progressiveness and
iteration. The article also investigates the process of grammaticalization of each 16th
century future form, on the path from obligation to future tense (for the have form) and
from future inflection to epistemic modality mark.
