Explores the thesis that in the Kwa languages of West Africa, aspect and modality are more central to the grammar of the verb than tense. This volume presents novel analyses of grammatical forms like the so-called S-Aux-O-V-Other or "future" constructions, and provides empirical data for theorizing about aspect and modality.
