In (1 a), will is usually regarded as expressing volition, and thus taken as a dynamic modal. When interpreted as expressing the future, as shown in (1 b), will is taken either as a future tense marker or auxiliary (e.g. Comrie (1985), Davidsen-Nielsen (1990), Declerck (1991, 20(6), Hornstein (1990), Klein (1994), Reichenbach (1947), Wekker (1976)), or as an epistemic modal which represents prediction (e.g. Collins (2009), Harder (1996), Huddleston (1995), Huddleston and Pullum (2002), Klinge (2005), Lyons (1977), N akau (1994), Pal mer (1990), Qui rk et a1. (1985)). The will Cll) in (1c) is regarded as an epistemic modal expressing predictability. In (Id), will is considered to express propensity or characteristic behavior, taken as a kind of dynamic modal. In accounting for the fact that more than one interpretation is possible with a given modal, two approaches are prevailing. One is the monosemous approach (e.g. Groefsema (1995), Haegeman (1989), Klinge (1993, 2005), Papafragou ...

This article aims to systematically explain linguistic facts concerning the will + be -ing construction (WBI construction) in terms of a general theory of tense. For this purpose, temporal structures of the WBI construction are constructed based on the tense theory of Wada (2001, 2009, 2011) by combining temporal structures of sentences containing will with temporal structures of sentences containing present-progressive forms. It is shown that the temporal structure-based analysis not only addresses problems with previous studies, but also illuminates the characteristics of the WBI construction in a unified way.

Distinctions are all-important to grammatical description. Terms and concepts cannot be defined without them. Yet, linguists may disagree on which distinctions to make, where, and on which grounds. A grammarian may have a tendency to either split categories or lump them together, and may prefer to draw either sharp or blurred dividing lines between forms, usage types, or areas of study. This volume sheds new light on several topics in English grammar by introducing, redrawing or questioning boundaries between grammatical classes, between synchrony and diachrony, and between semantics and pragmatics. It is dedicated to Renaat Declerck, emeritus professor of English linguistics who retired from Belgium's University of Leuven in 2009. While Declerck's main contributions lie in his detailed study of the English tense system, he has dissected a vast range of grammatical phenomena in English. The first part of the book discusses distinctions in the grammar of the English verb phra...
