The book presents the  view that the semantic contribution of tense is made in relation to  structurally higher expressions (the `relative tense theory') and  argues against the view that tenses are all indexicals. This idea is  formally encoded as a \u003cem\u003ede se\u003c\/em\u003e analysis of attitudes, originally  proposed by Lewis, coupled with a sequence-of-tense rule posited for  English. An auxiliary proposal is made to account for some exceptional  cases (e.g. so-called double-access sentences), which invokes \u003cem\u003ede  re\u003c\/em\u003e attitudes about temporal entities (states or intervals). Since  the proposed account assumes that the interpretation of tense is  structure-dependent, it also correctly predicts scope interactions  between tenses and NPs. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eTense, Attitudes, and Scope\u003c\/em\u003e is intended for scholars and  graduate students in formal semantics, syntax-semantics interface,  philosophy of language and Japanese linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792338017\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8609-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 282\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658322894988,"sku":"9780792338017","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792338017.jpg?v=1776879031","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792338017","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
