Abstract

The aim of this paper is to illustrate the passage from perfect to aorist by the case of French passé composé in the perspective of a global vision of the French verb system. The first section presents our conception of the French Tense-Aspect-Modality system. The second part applies the Bybee, Perkins & Pagliuca (1993) - henceforth BPP - approach to the diachronic evolution of the passé composé. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
