In this talk, I will give an overview of the use of tense and time and how that allows us to express our attitude and viewpoint in communication. In the first part of the talk, I demonstrate the use of tense in English in professional communication and discuss the corresponding communicative tools that are available to the users of Chinese. In the second part of the talk, I look deeper into the use of tense marking to the operation of narrative viewpoint in Cognitive Linguistics.

The talk will be of introductory nature and will be in English, with intermittent explanation in Chinese to facilitate understanding. The discussion will be in both languages, although students are encouraged to attempt to use English as the first tool of communication.
