Getting Rid of Tents
Tents is just a category of dakesis. Dakesis is a fancy linguistic term that means Pointing out. We're talking about More themes that only do the job of Locating an event in time. Obviously, an adverb like yesterday Also locates an event in Time. But it's not tense, because it's not A marker on the verb and it means something Quite specific, as opposed to past. Which may be quite vague and meaning. Okay. So, that's just what I want to talk about Is various things you can do When you don't have Over morphological tents marking On the verb. Isn't that right? Right.
