This module defines the abstract parameters of tense, polarity, and
anteriority, which are used in <A HREF="Phrase.html">Phrase</A> 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 <I>passé simple</I> of
Romance languages.
