Abstract
The present contribution investigates in a first section what its author took the liberty to call ‘transposition of
temporal reference’, including: Simple Present for past/future time, Present Progressive for future time, Past
Simple/Progressive for present time, Past Perfect Simple/Progressive for hypothetical past, hypothetical Simple Past
for future time, and Past Progressive for future time in the past.
The second and final section submits to the reader four types of extended structure featuring tempoaspectual
blends – with two, three, four and five modal and/or passive and/or lexical auxiliaries – , some of them bona fide
ill-conceived lexematic monstrosities.
