“…The English connective items under scrutiny are since and ever since in their temporal functions only. As was pointed out in[6],[7], [8],[9] and[10] non-temporal since such as we find in e.g. Since I'm a taxi driver, I know how to get there allows for TA-constellations that are at variance with those for temporal (ever) since.…”

“…This particular Slovak data can at this time be compared to similar quantitative data for Polish, the only other language for which it is available even though the latter is based on considerably smaller quantities of samples. The figures provided by [9] In spite of the difference in sample volumes as well as the fact that for Slovak SC:PRS.PfV has been omitted, 10 we may at this time, however, signal that the scores of the types in percentages are very similar indeed.…”

It has recently been shown by especially [1] through [4] and [12] for Russian and by [8] and [9] for Polish that conjunctions corresponding to Dutch sinds (cf. also [1], [2], [3]) and English since (cf. also [7], [10]) have temporal functions, which are subject to restrictions on the choice of tense and aspect. Ultimately these restrictions can be related to the semantic input of tense and aspect into complex sentences with these connective items. For Polish extensive data provided by corpus research enabled us to shed light on the usage and restrictions in this area and also to establish which constellations with particular conjunctions are more or less likely or not possible (cf. [8], [9]). In the present contribution we present freshly sourced quantitative Slovak SNK-corpus data. We consider the sixteen logically possible tense-aspect constellations, and the Slovak connective items: odkedy; odvtedy, čo / ako; od chvíle, keď / čo / ako; od tých čias, čo / ako; od tej doby, čo / ako. This quantitative data study is intended to pinpoint the areas of future research; for this purpose at certain instances comparisons are made with Polish, the only other language we have such data for to date.

The paper offers an analysis of the cross-linguistic variation in the expression of clausal temporal ‘since’ relations (e.g., I have been working since you arrived) in a sample of 59 languages. First, the investigation explores whether clausal temporal ‘since’ constructions bear formal resemblance to nominal temporal ‘since’ constructions (e.g., It has been raining since yesterday), nominal beginning-to-end constructions (e.g., They will sleep from tonight to tomorrow), and clausal beginning-to-end constructions (e.g., From the moment they were born, until they died, they never paid their bills). While, in most languages in the sample, these constructions are formed with the same pattern, the paper shows that there may be more to the story. Second, it is shown that at least one of the markers encoding nominal beginning-to-end constructions tends to be simpler (in terms of the number of segments) than the markers found in clausal temporal ‘since’ constructions or clausal ‘until’ constructions. It is proposed that this is the result of economy.
