Long abstractIn the introduction, the aim of the book is presented: to understand the consecutive tenses in a modern linguistic and comparative Semitic setting. Here, the methodology that is utilised to achieve this aim is formulated: diachronic typology, a comparative Semitic approach, the concept of clause linking, Bybee’s construction theory, and a corpus-based approach. The chapter ends with a section discussing previous research.

Bo Isaksson (PhD, Uppsala University 1987) is Professor Emeritus of Semitic Languages at Uppsala University. His research concerns Classical Hebrew text linguistics and Arabic dialectology. In recent years he has initiated two international research projects on clause linking in Semitic languages which have generated the publications Clause Combining in Semitic (AKM 96, Harrassowitz 2015), Strategies of Clause Linking in Semitic Languages (AKM 93, Harrassowitz 2014), and Circumstantial Qualifiers in Semitic: The Case of Arabic and Hebrew (AKM 70, Harrassowitz 2009). These projects have formed the basis for the research presented in this book.
