Arregui and Kusumoto (1998): Tense in Temporal Adjunct Clauses #
Japanese mae 'before' takes a present clause and ato 'after' a past one, while English and Polish before- and after-clauses take the past. Ogihara's relative-tense account has the adjunct tense order its event against the matrix event, in agreement with the connective, unless the sequence-of-tense rule deletes it. Arregui and Kusumoto object that Polish has no such rule and patterns with English, and that a Japanese toki 'when'-clause takes the past. For them the past tense is Prior's operator and the present a variable. English and Polish adjuncts and Japanese past when-clauses are relative clauses over times, whose past is evaluated at the speech time, and mae and ato select a tensed clause directly, mae being stipulated to bind a variable. The logical forms are interpreted by Heim and Kratzer's type-driven composition, which gives a past under mae and a present under ato no denotation.
Main statements #
interpretable_selected: of the four tensed clauses under mae and ato, the present under mae and the past under ato compose.extension_after_past: on dense time after absorbs the past operator of the clause it selects, the step the paper takes without comment, and on discrete time it does not.judgment_iff_relativeTense: the relative-tense account errs on the past in a Japanese when-clause and on the past and the future in a Polish before-clause, and nowhere else.not_exists_sot_polish: no setting of the sequence-of-tense rule gives the relative-tense account both the complements and the before-clauses of Polish.
Implementation notes #
- A time is an interval of moments, with precedence and inclusion. The entity type of the
composition engine is the type of times, so its type
eis the paper's type of times. - An attitude verb comes with its subject and takes the property of times its complement denotes, as say does in the paper's sketch of the sequence-of-tense rule.
- The downstairs reading of an adjunct that embeds a clause is identified by the at-phrase of the relative pronoun, which a selected clause lacks.
- The when of the habitual logical form, a node with no denotation of its own, is left out.
TODO #
- The paper stars the present in Polish before- and after-clauses and the future in Polish
before-clauses without deriving the judgments, and assigns Polish tenses no entries;
not_holds_present_relativeandholds_before_present_relativegive what the entries of English and Japanese would entail for the present. - The habitual present of Japanese relative clauses over places and people is observed and not derived.

Instances For
Before and after #
A time is before a clause exactly when no time of the clause precedes or overlaps it, which sharpens the paper's gloss of before as the times that are not after a time of the clause.
Before is not veridical (18a), holding of every time when its clause has none.
A time of one clause before another clause puts the first before ever the second, the universal before of Anscombe.
Tense as operator and as variable #
The past tense is an operator on properties of times (13).
Instances For
The present tense is a variable over times (12), here of index 0.
Instances For
A root or relative clause of tense τ over a verb phrase. A tense variable saturates the
verb phrase (12b), and with an operator the speech time in C saturates the tensed clause
(13b).
Equations
- ArreguiKusumoto1998.clause (RoseTree.node (PhraseStructure.Tree.Label.trace i PUnit.unit) []) x✝ = (PhraseStructure.Tree.tr i).bin x✝
- ArreguiKusumoto1998.clause x✝¹ x✝ = (PhraseStructure.Tree.leaf ArreguiKusumoto1998.Word.speechTime).bin (PhraseStructure.Tree.bin x✝¹ x✝)
Instances For
A present clause is true when its verb phrase holds at the speech time (12).
A past clause is true when its verb phrase holds at a time before the speech time (13).
The speech time does not combine with a present clause, which is a truth value.
Relative-clause adjuncts #
A verb phrase modified by at and the trace of the relative pronoun, of index 1 (16b).
Equations
Instances For
A relative clause over times, in which the relative pronoun binds its trace in a clause of
tense τ (16b).

Equations
- ArreguiKusumoto1998.matrix vp adjunct = ArreguiKusumoto1998.clause ArreguiKusumoto1998.pastOperator (PhraseStructure.Tree.bin vp adjunct)
Instances For
A past relative clause denotes the times before the speech time at which its verb phrase holds, whatever clause it modifies (16b).
In Satoshi left after Junko came (24) both events precede the speech time, and the connective alone orders them.
In Satoshi left before Junko came (25) the leaving precedes every past coming.
With a past when-clause, Junko was in her room when Satoshi came (33) reports an episode at one past time.
An after-sentence entails that its clause held (18b).
A before-sentence whose clause never held says what its matrix says (18a).
Left free in a relative clause, the present variable denotes the speech time, which no past time follows or is, so a present after- or when-clause that is a relative clause contradicts a past matrix. The paper gives a present when-clause the other form, on which an adverb binds the variable (34).
A present before-clause adds nothing to a past matrix, every past time preceding the speech time.
Connectives that select a tensed clause #
On dense time after absorbs the past operator of the clause it selects. The paper prints the absorbed form at the root of (27) without comment.
On discrete time after does not absorb the past operator, since no time lies between an event and the next moment.
Before binds the present variable of the clause it selects (30).
Of the four tensed clauses a connective can select, the present composes under before, which the paper stipulates to bear a binder index, and the past under after, which bears none. A past is a set of times with no variable to bind, the paper's reason for (5a), and a present is a truth value, which accounts for (6b), a case the paper leaves implicit.
In Japanese, Satoshi left after Junko came (28) says that the coming precedes the leaving, the paper's truth conditions, which hold of the logical form on dense time.
In Japanese, Satoshi left before Junko came (29) says that the leaving precedes every coming.
On dense time an after-sentence has the same truth conditions whether its clause is a relative clause (24) or is selected directly (28).
The ambiguity of an adjunct that embeds a clause #
In the paper's scenario for I encountered Satoshi when you said he had left (14), you said at three that Satoshi left at ten. Times are hours of the day, and the speech time, which the paper leaves open, is put at eight in the evening.
Equations
- One or more equations did not get rendered due to their size.
Instances For
With the relative pronoun extracted from the higher clause (15a) the adjunct holds of the time of the saying and not of the time of the leaving, and extracted from the lower clause (15b) of the time of the leaving and not of the time of the saying.
In a clause that a connective selects, the trace of a relative pronoun is free.
The present of a when-clause #
The covert adverb of quantification with its restrictor, a clause of tense τ over whose
tense variable the adverb abstracts (34c).
Equations
Instances For
In Junko was in her room whenever Satoshi came (34) a covert adverb of quantification, which the when-clause restricts, binds the present variable of the clause.
The truth conditions (34b) hold as soon as some past time contains no time of the when-clause, the past tense quantifying over the domain of the adverb. The paper does not remark on this.

The adjunct of a temporal relation over a verb phrase in the tense τ. A when-clause in a
tense variable restricts the adverb of quantification that binds the variable, the form the
paper gives the Japanese present (34c), and is otherwise a relative clause over times (16). The
clause of before and after is a relative clause (23) unless they select a tensed clause
(27), over whose tense variable before, bearing a binder index, abstracts (30).

Instances For
On the relative-tense account a tense in an adjunct under a past locates the adjunct event
against the matrix event, in a position the connective, of cell c, must admit, unless it is a
past that the sequence-of-tense rule deletes.

A past complement under a past has exactly the readings the sequence-of-tense rule of the language gives it, and the reading the paper reports for a present or future complement is one its tense admits, (1) to (4) and (10).
An adjunct in the past or the present is acceptable exactly where its logical form composes, except for the present in a before- or after-clause that is a relative clause, the Polish (11b) and fn. 3 (i-b), which composes and which the paper stars without deriving. A relative clause composes in either tense, so the stars derived are those of mae with the past (5a) and ato with the present (6b), and the Polish future (11c) has no logical form.
The relative-tense account gives the judgment on an adjunct except, in a language without the sequence-of-tense rule, for the past of a when-clause, the Japanese (8) and (32), and of a before-clause that is a relative clause, the Polish (11a) and (22b), which it rules out, and for the future, the Polish (11c), which it lets in. It lets in the present of a Japanese when-clause (9) without accounting for its habitual reading.
No setting of the sequence-of-tense rule gives the relative-tense account both the past complement of Polish, which has only the shifted reading (10b), and its past before-clause (11a).
An adjunct that embeds a clause has the downstairs reading exactly where it is a relative clause, whose pronoun may be extracted from either clause, (14), (20), (22) and (32), a selected clause having no pronoun to bind a trace in it (26).
A Japanese when-clause has the habitual reading exactly where its tense composes as the variable that the adverb of quantification binds, (8) and (9), and so do the relative clauses of (35) and (36), where the paper observes the contrast.
