I would say that "I can/might go to the store" go to the store having different tenses is what we mean when we say "can" and "might" are lexixally T.
Even restricting ourselves to the syntactic features, I have still never seen an arguement for or against English having a syntactic future tense feature that did not come down to UG, or a disagreement about which model is simpler, and neither side is convoluted enough for me to confidently invoke Occam's razor.
- foldr 8y agoThe two sentences have different words occupying the "T" head, but they don't have different tenses. What you're saying is just a pun on "tense".
