@article{Onea_2019, title={On Temporal Quantification}, volume={15}, url={https://ojs.ub.uni-konstanz.de/sub/index.php/sub/article/view/392}, abstractNote={<p>Generally, it is assumed ever since Pratt & Francez (2001) that temporal<br />expressions have a context-dependent meaning in the sense that they not<br />only denote a set of time intervals according to their lexical content but rather their denotation is additionally restricted to some contextual time. Hence, <em>Monday</em> does not just denote the set of Mondays but a function from time intervals to the Mondays in them. This is useful in dealing with concomitant quantifiers such as <em>John kissed Mary every second semester on every Monday</em> for it allows them to restrict each other domain of quantification. In this paper I propose a way to eliminate this context dependency of temporal expressions building up on an idea of Irene Heim that domain restriction in the temporal domain is a matter of presupposition projection. In particular I argue that temporal prepositions presuppose that their argument, a time interval, intersects a higher time interval. This not only helps to derive concomitant quantification but also solves some classical problems of competing theories.</p>}, journal={Proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung}, author={Onea, Edgar}, year={2019}, month={May}, pages={451–466} }
