β¦ Synopsis
This collection of eighteen papers explores issues in the study of semantic parallelism -- a world-wide tradition in the composition of oral poetry. It is concerned with both comparative issues and the intensive study of a single living poetic tradition of composition in strict canonical parallelism. The papers in the volume were written at intervals from 1971 to 2014 -- a period of over forty years. They are a summation of a career-long research effort that continues to take shape. The concluding essay reflects on possible directions for future research.

The temporal notions of natural languages are notoriously difficult to analyze. For the tenses of the English language, many different, incompatible approaches have been tried, and the general impression is that things get worse if one looks at the phenomenon of aspect, roughly corresponding to the
