ON DEVELOPMENT OF MEANS OF EXPRESSING FUTURE (researched on the material of Modern English)
Abstract
The paper considers complex semantic character of English means expressing future as an outcome of their historic
development in the process of mutual influence of temporal and modal semantic components. A number of specific uses
of will + Vinf reveal some transitional results suggesting incompleteness of grammatization process of the form in
Modern English.
