Motion time and tense on the grammaticalization of come and go to future markers in Bantu
description Many Bantu languages have grammaticized one or both types of motion verb -COME and GO - as future markers. However, they may differ in the semantics of future temporal reference, in some cases referring to a "near" future, in others to a "remote" future.
