Non-deictic tenses in conditionals
The English tenses are often claimed to be deictic, i.e. to make reference to the utterance time and localize some state of affairs relative to it.

Let us call the time with respect to which the tenses locate their eventual...
متن کاملNow: Between Indexical Thoughts and Indexical Thought
It has long been argued that rational action necessitates having indexical thoughts. The ability to understand and generate indexical expressions is also a precondition for interacting in natural language. A rational acting agent that interacts in natural language is, thus, required to develop a proper treatment of indexicality. Treatments of indexicality in the literature have, almost always, ...
متن کاملFrom extensional to intensional description
Abstract: Quantum search is well suited to spaces that can be described in brief encodings, such as integers or a set of algorithmic transformations in an abbreviated representation, but needs adaptation to deal efficiently with datasets. A method is presented for exploiting the global aggregation properties of a search operator so that the data space (extension) and algorithmic space can be ex...
متن کاملNon-deictic Tenses in Conditionals
This paper is about the interpretation of tenses in conditional sentences. It focuses on a particular cluster of data centering around the observation that tenses in the consequent of a conditional can obtain a non-deictic interpretation. As we will see, there is no need for something very extravagant or new to deal with these observations. We can do with the standard analysis of indicative con...

Kamp and Ch. Rohrer. Instead of using operators to express the meaning of the tenses the Reichenbachian point of view is adopted and refined such that the impact of the tenses with respect to the m...
