在本章中，我们将解释分析数据的方法。一个分析框架，比如这里使用的框架，并不是一个理论，它的目的是超越其洞察力的深度或其解释力。相反，它是为特定目的而设计的一种工具，为了达到这一目的，它应该简单、明确和方便。此外，它可以忽略许多微妙和复杂的，一个令人满意的时间性理论及其在自然语言中的表达最终必须解释。另一方面，它不得与这样一种理论相抵触。如果分析框架不只是一个临时的支柱，那么它也应该是灵活的，在这个意义上，它可以在需要的时候容易地扩大、改进和变得更精确。这里提出的分析框架是以前几次尝试和大量实践经验的结果。在许多方面，它都是对Perdue（1984，第7.4章）所述观点的阐述，而Perdue的观点又是基于之前对第二语言习得中时间性的大量实证研究，尤其是Klein（1981）和von斯图特海姆（1986）。在随后的工作中，经验发现导致了许多变化，甚至与项目的最终报告（Bhardwaj，Dietrich和Noyau 1988）相比，尽管这些变化中的大多数与术语和表述方式无关。
In this chapter, we shall explain the way in which the data were analysed. A frame of analysis, such as the one used here, is not a theory which is meant to excel by the depth of its insights or by its explanatory power. Rather, it is an instrument designed for a specific purpose, and to serve this purpose, it should be simple, clear and handy. Moreover, it is allowed to ignore many of the subtleties and complications which a satisfactory theory of temporality and its expression in natural language eventually has to account for. On the other hand, it must not be at variance with such a theory. A frame of analysis, if it is to be more than a temporary crutch, should also be flexible in the sense that it can easily be enlarged, refined and made more precise, whenever there is need to. The frame of analysis presented here is the outcome of several earlier attempts and considerable practical experience. In many respects, it is an elaboration of ideas sketched in Perdue (1984, chapter 7.4), which in turn are based on a number of previous empirical studies of temporality in second language acquisition, notably Klein (1981) and von Stutterheim (1986). During subsequent work, empirical findings have led to many changes, even compared to the project's final report (Bhardwaj, Dietrich and Noyau 1988), although most of these changes do not so very much concern our basic assumptions as terminology and presentation.
