摘要:The present paper is a linguistic analysis of the simple future tense ( sādhāran bhabishyat ) according to the traditional nomenclature) in Bengali. The study of tense forms in traditional Bengali grammar has mainly been confined to the morphological level. The semantic significance of different tense forms have never been studied in a systematic way. There is a great discrepancy in the tense system as has been defined in traditional Bengali grammar and as it functions in real life. We have chosen one tense form viz. simple future ( sādhāran bhabishyat ) to highlight this discrepancy. In this study we have demonstrated different uses of this tense form which have been ignored by traditional grammarians. We have illustrated the temporal and the modal uses, and the future and non-future uses in the sub category of the temporal uses of this verbal form. We have tried to explain the significance of all the uses and bring out the unifying factor.
