Description | This article is a response to Groenewald’s 2014 article, ‘A re-evaluation of tense in isiZulu’. Sub-themes identified in Groenewald’s article and explored in this exposé in the light of an array of recently published research on the topic of tense are: the suitability of the distinction between absolute and relative tense and the use of the term ‘absolute tense’; the appropriateness of defining tense in terms of deixis; the remoteness distinctions in terms of past and future tenses generally distinguished in the Bantu languages with particular reference to isiZulu; the semantic significance of the use of the so-called short and long forms of the present and past tenses of isiZulu and the naming of the individual tenses. Hierdie artikel is ’n antwoord op Groenewald se 2014-artikel, getiteld A re-evaluation of tense in isiZulu. Sub-temas wat in Groenewald se publikasie geidentifiseer is en in hierdie artikel verder ondersoek word in die lig van ‘n groot verskeidenheid resente wetenskaplike publikasies oor die kategorie grammatiese tyd is: die sinrykheid van die onderskeiding tussen absolute en relatiewe tye en die toepaslikheid van die gebruik van die term ‘absolute tyd’; die betekenisvolheid daarvan om grammatiese tye te definieer in terme van deiksis; die onderskeid tussen verre en nabye verlede- en verre en nabye toekomende tye in die Bantutale met spesifieke verwysing na isiZulu; die semantiese implikasies van die gebruik van die sogenaamde kort- en lang vorme van die teenwoordige en verlede tye van isiZulu en die benoeming van die onderskeie grammatiese tydvorme. | |
