Competition between the Present Tense and the Present Perfect in the Construction It + Is / Has Been + Time Expression + Since-Clause: A Corpus-Based Study

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

When the position of the present perfect in the English temporal system is discussed, it is usually contrasted with the past simple tense. This chapter focuses on one of the few cases in which the present perfect competes with the present simple tense, namely the construction It + is / has been + time expression + since-clause. Because grammar books usually limit themselves to a general statement along the lines that both forms may be used (cf. e.g. Quirk et al 1999, 1016; Huddleston and Pullum 2002, 697), corpus research was carried out in the British National Corpus and in the Corpus of Contemporary American English in order to find out how the tenses are distributed in the construction. The distribution of the present perfect form was analysed in terms of the corpus registers and the definiteness of the time expression in the construction.
