Splitting the reference time: the analogy between nominal and temporal anaphora revisited
Rani Nelken · Journal of Semantics · 1997
The analysis in Partee (1984) of quantified sentences, introduced by a temporal connective, gives the wrong truth conditions when the connective is before or after. In this paper, we show how splitting the different roles of Reichenbach's reference time may be used in order to solve this problem. We further enhance the analogy between pronominal and temporal anaphora, by proposing an analog of plural NP-anaphora in the form of temporal anaphora involving multiple event antecedents and an analog of an E-type analysis of pronouns in the analysis of quantified narrative discourse.
