James Higginbotham's key contributions to work on tense, aspect, and indexicality explore the principles governing demonstrative, temporal, and indexical expressions in natural language and present new ideas in the semantics of sentence structure. A precious resource for students of semantics and syntactic theory in linguistics and philosophy.
