--1 Tense, Polarity, and Anteriority
-- This module defines the abstract parameters of tense, polarity, and
-- anteriority, which are used in [Tensed Tensed.html] to generate different
-- forms of sentences. Together they give 2 x 4 x 4 = 16 sentence forms.
-- These tenses are defined for all languages in the library. More tenses
-- can be defined in the language extensions, e.g. the "passé simple" of
-- Romance languages.
