On the semantics of temporal when - clauses ∗
This paper is about non-interrogative temporal embedded clauses introduced by when (temporal when-clauses), their semantic interpretation and their syntax/semantics mapping.

In particular, the logical criteria for steadiness imply statistical stationarity and lack of correlati...
