Sequence Phenomena and Double Access Readings Generalized ( Two Remarks on Tense , Person and Mood ) 1

چکیده
Some analogies have been observed over the years between the semantics of pronouns, tenses and moods. Thus Partee 1973 suggested that tenses have all the uses that pronouns do, and should thus receive the same abstract analysis; her argument was then extended to mood in Stone 1997. Consider for instance the deictic use of pronouns, illustrated in (1)a. Partee's and Stone's suggestion was that tenses and moods have an entirely analogous use, illustrated in (1)b-c (in the logical forms, ÿ represents negation and P represents the past tense operator):

1 " Double - Access " Sentences and Reference to States
This article deals with the semantics of "double-access" sentences. They are defined as English sentences which have a past tense morpheme in the matrix clause and a present tense morpheme in a subordinate clause in the immediate scope of the matrix past tense. They receive a very peculiar interpretation, which we will refer to as a "double-access interpretation". The episode described in the e...
متن کاملSome Remarks on Generalized Sequence Space of Bounded Variation of Sequences of Fuzzy Numbers
The idea of difference sequences of real (or complex) numbers was introducedby Ki zmaz cite{Kizmaz}. In this paper, using the difference operator and alacunary sequence, we introduce and examine the class of sequence $bv_{theta}left( Delta,mathcal{F}right) .$ We study some of its properties likesolidity, symmetricity, etc.
متن کاملOn the fine spectrum of generalized upper triangular double-band matrices $Delta^{uv}$ over the sequence spaces $c_o$ and $c$
The main purpose of this paper is to determine the fine spectrum of the generalized upper triangular double-band matrices uv over the sequence spaces c0 and c. These results are more general than the spectrum of upper triangular double-band matrices of Karakaya and Altun[V. Karakaya, M. Altun, Fine spectra of upper triangular doubleband matrices, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics...
متن کاملCorrelating Cessation with Double Access
This paper investigates an inference (which we call cessation) that no state of the kind described currently holds. We propose that this inference occurs in a sentence φ when: (a) φ has stative verb in the past tense and (b) there is a present tense alternative to φ that shares a common reference time concept and is not vacuously false. We show how (a) and (b) correlate with the availability of...
متن کاملModeling verbal inflection for English to German SMT
German verbal inflection is frequently wrong in standard statistical machine translation approaches. German verbs agree with subjects in person and number, and they bear information about mood and tense. For subject–verb agreement, we parse German MT output to identify subject–verb pairs and ensure that the verb agrees with the subject. We show that this approach improves subject-verb agreement...
