Diese Untersuchung befaßt sich mit den Funktionen, die temporale Elemente (Tempus, aspektuelle Formen, temporale Adverbiale, nominale Ausdrücke usw.) in authentischen Erzähltexten der modernen englischsprachigen Literatur erfüllen. Es wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie diese Elemente die leserseitige Rekonstruktion der in einem Text zum Ausdruck kommenden zeitlichen Anordnungen von Gegebenheiten beeinflussen. Drei semantische und pragmatische Ansätze sind miteinander kompatibel gemacht, modifiziert und bei der Analyse literarischer Texte angewandt worden: die Tempusanalyse nach Reichenbach (1966/1947), die indexikalische Wahrheitssemantik und die Darstellung der Rekonstruktion textueller Verzeitungsstrukturen als Anwendung annullierbarer (Default-)Inferenzen. Es wurde auf eine fundierte Analyse auch komplexer Texte Wert gelegt. Die Textanalysen zeigen, daß Default-Prinzipien im Hinblick auf drei unterschiedliche Textebenen gelten und entsprechend zu unterscheiden sind, nämlich die lokale Textebene (zwei unmittelbar aufeinanderfolgende Ereignisschilderungen oder Sätze), die thematische Textebene (thematisch zusammenhängende Texteinheiten) und die globale Textebene (Text als Ganzes). Die Analysen belegen ferner, daß sich beim Perfekt die Textfunktionen nicht allein aus dem Bedeutungsgehalt der Elemente ableiten lassen. Adverbiale sind zwar eng mit der Bedeutung der Tempora verknüpft, sie erfüllen aber meist von ihnen unabhängige Textfunktionen.

It is commonly assumed that we conceive of the past and the future as symmetrical. In this book, Fabrizio Cariani develops a new theory of future-directed discourse and thought that shows that our linguistic and philosophical conceptions of the past and future are, in fact, fundamentally different. Future thought and talk, Cariani suggests, are best understood in terms of a systematic analogy with counterfactual thought and talk, and are not just mirror images of the past. Cariani makes this case by developing detailed formal semantic theories as well as by advancing less technical views about the nature of future-directed judgment and prediction. His book addresses in a thought-provoking way several important debates in contemporary philosophy, and his synthesis of parallel threads of research will benefit scholars in the philosophy of language, metaphysics, epistemology, linguistics and cognitive science.

This is the first book dedicated to the study of the complexities that arise in embodied interaction from the multiplicity of time-scales on which its component processes unfold. It shows in microscopic detail how people synchronize and sequence modal resources such as talk, gaze, gesture, and object-manipulation to accomplish social actions. The studies show that each of these resources has its own temporal trajectory, affordances and restrictions, which enable and constrain the fine-grained work of bodily self-organization and interaction with others. Focusing on extended interactional time scales, some of the contributors investigate ways in which larger interactional episodes and relationships between actions are brought about and how actions build on shared interactional histories. The book makes a strong case for the use of video in the study of social interaction. It proposes an enlarged vision of Conversation Analysis that puts the body and its interactive temporalities center stage.

This book presents a collection of papers on various syntactic and semantic aspects of temporal expression in language. The articles included in this volume were presented at the I International Meeting on Syntax and Semantics and their Interfaces, with the main theme of the event being time. The authors include well-renowned researchers as well as new contributors to the field who present cutting-edge research on a variety of topics, ranging from the fundamental nature of time to formal appr...
