Abstract: This article provides a detailed analysis of two innovative vebnal tenses currently found in Vilamovicean (a Germanic language spoken in Poland): the so-called "new Future" or "Future III" and "new Conjunctive Perfect" or "Conjunctive Perfect III". The author discusses the morphosyntactic and semantic characteristics of the two grams, explains their relation to similar constructions available in the Vilamovicean language and posits the most likely scenario of their origin, showing that both formations might have emerged by imitating equivalent expressions in Polish. |
