Indonesian temporal markers #
The temporal markers of [Sne96] (§§2.142–52). Indonesian verbs are invariant for tense and aspect (§2.142: "the form of the verb does not change to indicate tense or aspect"); time is inferred from context, indicated by adjuncts, or marked by these words within the predicate. Relative to a past reference point the same markers shift readings: sudah and telah 'had V-ed', sedang 'was V-ing', akan 'would' (§2.152).
Excluded: sempat 'have the opportunity', which [Sne96] classifies as
a modal (§2.153), and belum 'not yet', listed with the negatives and
analysed as negation plus sudah (§2.156). WALS codings for Indonesian live
in Data.WALS.Features (iso ind), not here.
What a temporal marker indicates about the action relative to the moment of utterance or a reference event ([Sne96] §§2.143–51).
- occurred : TemporalMeaning
Action has occurred or a state has been achieved (§2.143).
- inProgress : TemporalMeaning
Action is in progress (§2.145).
- stillOccurring : TemporalMeaning
Action is still occurring (§2.147).
- future : TemporalMeaning
Future event or state (§2.148).
- distantFuture : TemporalMeaning
Future event a considerable time ahead (§2.149).
- justOccurred : TemporalMeaning
Action has just occurred or a state has just been reached (§2.150).
- farPast : TemporalMeaning
Action occurred in the far past; 'ever, once' (§2.151).

Instances For
A temporal marker ([Sne96] §2.142): a word within the predicate indicating that the action has occurred, is occurring, or is yet to occur. Traditional studies call these 'aspect markers', grouping akan with the modals.

Instances For
sudah: action occurred or state achieved; with state verbs, inception and/or continuation (Dia sudah tidur 'He has gone to bed/is asleep'); with non-verbal predicates ≈ 'already' (Dia sudah tinggi/guru) (§2.143).
Equations
- Indonesian.sudah = { form := "sudah", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.occurred, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := some true }
Instances For
telah: same meaning as sudah, differing only in register (§2.144).
Equations
- Indonesian.telah = { form := "telah", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.occurred, register := Features.Register.Level.formal, nonverbalPredicates := none }
Instances For
sedang: action in progress, 'in the process of' (§2.145).
Equations
- Indonesian.sedang = { form := "sedang", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.inProgress, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := none }
Instances For
lagi: replaces sedang; less frequent and not used by all speakers (§2.146).
Equations
- Indonesian.lagi = { form := "lagi", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.inProgress, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := none }
Instances For
tengah: replaces sedang; less frequent and not used by all speakers (§2.146).
Equations
- Indonesian.tengah = { form := "tengah", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.inProgress, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := none }
Instances For
masih: action still occurring; with non-verbal predicates 'still' (Dia masih muda/pegawai) (§2.147).
Equations
- Indonesian.masih = { form := "masih", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.stillOccurring, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := some true }
Instances For
akan: future event or state (Tugasnya akan berat 'His task will be heavy') (§2.148).
Equations
- Indonesian.akan = { form := "akan", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.future, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := some true }
Instances For
bakal: future a considerable time ahead only; verbal predicates only (within a noun phrase it means 'prospective': bakal presiden). Colloquial bakalan is similar but cannot occur in a noun phrase (§2.149).
Equations
- Indonesian.bakal = { form := "bakal", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.distantFuture, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := some false }
Instances For
baru: action just occurred or state just reached (Umurnya baru empat tahun 'She's just four years old'); often followed by saja for emphasis (§2.150).
Equations
- Indonesian.baru = { form := "baru", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.justOccurred, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := some true }
Instances For
pernah: action in the far past, never of recent events; 'ever', but unlike English ever not restricted to negative and interrogative contexts; also 'once' (§2.151). belum pernah is the negative of sudah pernah and differs from tidak pernah 'never (habitually)' (§2.157).
Equations
- Indonesian.pernah = { form := "pernah", meaning := Indonesian.TemporalMeaning.farPast, register := Features.Register.Level.neutral, nonverbalPredicates := none }

Instances For
The temporal markers tagged AUX in UD Indonesian-GSD: sudah, telah,
sedang, akan — exactly [arka-2013]'s I-position auxiliaries among the
temporal markers. Checked against the treebank's full train/dev/test splits:
the other six markers never tag AUX (masih, pernah, lagi tag ADV;
baru mostly ADJ 'new'; tengah NOUN/PROPN 'middle'; bakal
marginal). GSD also tags Arka's fifth auxiliary mau (and ingin) AUX,
siding with [arka-2013] against [Sne96]'s full-verb treatment.

lagi and tengah are the replacements for progressive sedang (§2.146).
The markers §§2.143–51 attests with non-verbal predicates: sudah, masih, akan, baru.
