Locating adverbials in discourse
This article analyses Locating Adverbials (LAs) such as un peu plus tard, ce matin, deux kilomètres plus loin (‘a little later’, ‘this morning’, ‘two kilometers further’) when they are dislocated to the left of the sentence (IP Adjuncts cases). Although not discourse connectives, in such a position, they seem to play an important part in structuring discourse. It is this contribution of LAs to ...
متن کاملTelling Temporal Locating Adverbials And Time-Denoting Expressions Apart

The description and formalization proposed try to combine several levels of analysis. The complex interactions between the position of the adverbials (in the...
متن کاملTemporal transitions in narrative production with wordless picture books
1. Introduction When we tell a story, we don't always describe a sequence of scenes or situations in continuous time, but often introduce shifts in story time.
