Aspect, space and time in the New Testament: the use in non indicative modes

Abstract

The aspect value in the Greek Verbal System is connected to those of time and space. Beginning with the content of a recently published book on verbal aspect in non indicative moods in the New Testament, this article focuses especially on the relationship between these three ideas. A central point of the article is the affirmation that temporality operates as a semantic and not pragmatic component in some uses of the indicative, of the participle and of the infinitive.
