I discuss empirical methods for studying tense, aspect, and mood in language description. By focusing on TAM categories in Nafsan (Vanuatu, Oceanic), I show that corpus work, storyboards with targeted contexts and translation-based questionnaires accompanied by elicitation offer different kinds of evidence that are all necessary for a successful description.
Make sure to check the list of storyboards and their references in the end, which can be downloaded from the links contained in the references.
