Maya Before, Maya After: How a Tenseless Language Talks Past and Future
The Maya language has no past, present or future tense, and no word for "before" or "after"... yet the Maya still talk time as well as you! How?

~ Briefly ~
Two speakers in a lab. Over a thousand years earlier, two glyphs on a stairway. What do they have in common? Time without tenses!
We'll journey from an experiment to an inscription, then get an overview of how Maya uses aspects, moods and temporal anaphora to situate events in time.
The research made an impression on me. I've been eager to share it with you. I plan to follow up with more of the details, since this is some unique linguistics I haven't seen discussed much outside of the papers I've been reading.
