Contextual Factors in the Use of the Present Perfect
Moy, Raymond H.
TESOL Quarterly, 11, 3, 303-309, Sep 77
In this study the inadequacies of rules governing the present perfect in isolated sentences are discussed and then two contextual factors thought to be connected with current relevance and the use of the present perfect are described. These factors are experimentally shown to influence use of the present perfect significantly. (CHK)
