Trouble with Attitudes and the Future
نویسنده
چکیده
is paper investigates existing proposals for the apparent correlation between modal flavour and temporal orientation, through the lens of attitude verbs. Work thus far has focussed on modal auxiliaries, but attitude verbs with modal-quantificational analyses can shed new light on understanding the temporal orientation of modals elements. Landau (2000) notes that complements of partial control attitude verbs are interpreted as non-simultaneous with the evaluation time of the attitude verb itself. ese partial control attitude verbs can either back-shift or future-shift their complements. In this paper, I focus on future-shifters, which allow their morphologically non-future complements to be interpreted as holding at a future time. Both hope and want are examples of future-shifters.
