In the position article to this volume, Klein outlines a set of questions that are relevant for furthering the linguist's understanding of what the cognitive and neural prerequisites for time in language might be. He also declares a certain skepticism regarding the likelihood that new methods from other disciplines will provide answers to those questions. The articles in this issue, a selection of state-of-the-art findings concerning time from different disciplines and theoretical frameworks, all address some aspects of those questions. This overview attempts to assess to what extent the questions asked by Klein in his opening statement have been answered by contributions from other disciplines. This review on the whole suggests that evidence from other disciplines and theoretical frameworks do provide answers to some of the questions that Klein considers to be vital to the linguist whose daily bread consists of thinking about time and language. Other questions have answers under particular readings but leave other aspects of the questions open. Finally, in those cases in which no clear answers are to be had, the cross-disciplinary perspective and the different theoretical frameworks nevertheless seems to inspire new, interesting, and sometimes more specific questions than previously asked. This in turn suggests that, Klein's skepticism notwithstanding, findings and methods from other disciplines and domains can open fruitful new avenues of research to explore old issues.
