Talk:Periodic tense

Serious concerns about facticity

Most of this page seems drawn directly from Jacques (2023), and as far as I can tell his work is made up. I've been cross-checking the sources from his original paper and this Wikipedia page all morning, and keep coming up short. The original Aoki paper doesn't mention periodic tense; I already removed the Cowell and Moss citation, but the year and "seasonal tenses" aren't anywhere in the original text. I suggest seriously reviewing this further, or removing this page, because I suspect Jacques is a fraud. 69.201.165.7 (talk) 18:08, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Calling a scholar a fraud is a serious accusation. If you recheck Cowel and Moss (2006:217-218), in the list of preverb and initial stems referring to time, you find the following items (additional example sentences are found within the grammar):
benii’ow- ‘during the spring, time of the thaw’
biicen- ‘during the summer’
cecin- ‘during winter, over the course of winter’
toyoun- ‘during the fall’
Of course neither Cowell and Moss nor Aoki use the term "periodic tense" to refer to these morphemes, since this term was introduced by Jacques (2023). The phenomenon itself, however, is clearly described in many grammars. Rgyalrongskad (talk) 08:38, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
