Representing Time: An Essay on Temporality as Modality

Representing Time: An Essay on Temporality as Modality

by KasiaM.Jaszczolt (Author)

Synopsis

This book offers a new approach to the representation of meaning of temporally-located utterances and discourses. Temporality, the author suggests, should be taken to mean degrees of certainty, understood in turn as degrees of acceptability concerning the eventuality referred to in the speaker's utterance.
