Linguistische Probleme der Tempuskategorie Futur. Eine Untersuchung am Beispiel der deutschen und spanischen Gegenwartssprache

Abstract

The present paper deals with the future tense in modern German and its dubious efficiency to express chronological futurity, that is, future time and meaning. For this proposal I based my study upon Dietrichs theory of the relative modality (1992) and, breaking with all conventions of the grammatical tradition, I will try to prove that the future is not a tense but a modal category, more properly a semantic category capable of expressing conditional validity.
