Partitioning the timelineA cross-linguistic survey of tense
Viveka VelupillaiJustus Liebig University Giessen
The database
The following gives the languages and their values in my database. The lan-guage names are primarily based on the source(s) and WALS Online (Dryer & Haspelmath 2013); where these differ from the Ethnologue (Lewis et al. 2013) lan-guage names the Ethnologue name has been given in parenthesis. The ISO-639–3 codes are given in square brackets after the language name. I have relied on WALS Online where possible for the family and genus affiliation; where this was not pos-sible I relied on the source(s) and Ethnologue. The values for fusion type were tak-en from Bickel and Nichols (2013a) where possible; those languages are marked with an asterisk (*). For those languages that were not in Bickel & Nichol’s (2013a) database, I coded the fusion type according to the principles set out in Bickel & Nichols (2013b) using the reference indicated in the ‘Source’ column.
