Use of Tense-Aspect Forms in Cordis Project Reports by Jana Kuzmina

“…The obtained results claim that reports have a rigid generic macro-structure. It explains the use of the selected tense-aspect forms to express the commu­ni­cative aim in both types of reports; however, periodic reports demonstrate higher variation due to the involvement of a different discourse community. …”
