Abstract. In the focus of the present article is time as an abstract notion. It has various facets to it including a physical, philosophical, as well as others, and the linguistic aspect is connected to them. Time as a subject to linguistic description suggests a more profound analysis of the grammatical category of tense or even a study on a greater scale considering the functional semantic field of temporality. This paper discusses several major views on tense as a linguistic abstraction that has a status of a universal in Russian and Bulgarian linguistics.
Keywords: time; tense; grammatical category; linguistic abstraction; temporality; functional grammar
