在有关英语时态用法的文献中,将来时的表达方式,如(1)(a)I will/shall leave next week。(b)我下星期要走了。已经得到了很多关注,特别是在英语语言学的教学描述传统中(参见。Close,1977年; Haegeman,1981,1983年; Leech,1971年; Quirk等人,1985年; Palmer,1974年,1979年; Wekker,1976年等)。虽然这些帐户是有吸引力的,他们提出了进一步的问题,因为他们中的大多数人不打算处理的问题,对正式的理论背景。因此,为描述(1)中shall/will或be going to的使用而制定的规则往往是直观的,并且通常不允许在许多使用情况下做出任何决定性的选择。另一方面,赖兴巴赫对时态解释的类型分析通常主要关注时态表征的一般问题,并将(1)中的两个例子视为将来时的例证,而没有详细讨论它们之间的对比。
In the literature on English tense usage, expressions of futurity such as (1) (a) I will/shall leave next week. (b) I'm going to leave next week. have already received a lot of attention, especially so in the pedagogical descriptive tradition of English linguistics (cf. Close, 1977; Haegeman, 1981, 1983; Leech, 1971; Quirk et al., 1985; Palmer, 1974, 1979; Wekker, 1976, etc.). Although these accounts are attractive, they raise further questions because most of them do not propose to deal with the problem against a formal theoretical background. As a consequence, the rules formulated to describe the use of shall/will or be going to in (1) tend to be intuitive and often do not really allow any decisive choice to be made in many instances of usage. On the other hand, Reichenbach type analyses of tense interpretation are usually mainly concerned with the general problem of tense representation and treat both examples in (1) as illustrations of future tense without detailed discussion of the contrasts between them.
