5 FRENCH ADVERBIAL Puis BETWEEN TEMPORAL STRUCTURE AND DISCOURSE STRUCTURE 1
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been shown in the literature that tense, aspect and world knowledge (also called common or shared knowledge) all play a role in determining the global temporal structure of a text as well as its discourse structure (Caenepeel and Moens, 1994; Kamp and Rohrer, 1983; Lascarides and Asher, 1993).

This allows a simpler discourse structure to provide scaffolding for compositional semantics, and reveals multi...

Nevertheless uses of puis do not necessarily create incoherency. Consider th...
