The Time Window of Language
The Interaction between Linguistic and Non-Linguistic Knowledge in the Temporal Interpretation of German and English Texts
von Martin TrautweinFocusing on English and German examples, the study deals with the temporal interpretation of texts in non-aspect languages. The author presumes that a coherent interpretation of a text results from a complex interaction between linguistic and extra-linguistic information. The study presents a unified account of the semantics of temporality which treats the varying grammatical factors (aspectual classes, tense, and discourse structure) in a systematic way.
