(f) Mary writes novels. / Mary is a novelist. (g) Mary is writing a novel. (h) Mary will write a novel. (i) Mary will be writing a novel. from Srioutai (2006: 45)

5 5 (2)f 3 ont 1 ok rain fall (a) It is raining. (default meaning) (b) It was raining. (possible intended meaning)

6 6 ‘…I shall speak of the series of positions running from the far past through the near past to the present, and then from the present to the near future and the far future, as the A series. The series of positions which runs from earlier to later I shall call the B series. The contents of a position in time are called events.’ McTaggart (1908: 111)

7 7 Philosophical Foundations: Supervenience (i) supervenience of the concept of time on the concept of epistemic detachment (temporal properties on modal properties in semantics) (ii) supervenience of the concept of time on space-time (properties of the concept of time on properties of space-time). These two relations are closely connected. Just as the concept of time is founded on a more primitive concepts of uncertainty, probability and detachment, so it is founded on the probability and relativity of real time. It is not just the construal of reality that requires modality; it is reality itself.

8 8 ‘Why do we believe that events are to be distinguished as past, present, and future? I conceive that the belief arises from distinctions in our own experience. At any moment I have certain perceptions, I have also the memory of certain other perceptions, and the anticipation of others again. The direct perception itself is a mental state qualitatively different from the memory or the anticipation of perceptions.’ McTaggart (1908: 127)

9 9 Outline Contextualism in the truth-conditional approach to meaning Contextualism in the truth-conditional approach to meaning Default Semantics (Jaszczolt, e.g. 2005, 2009, forthcoming) Default Semantics (Jaszczolt, e.g. 2005, 2009, forthcoming) Unit of analysis Unit of analysis Sources of information contributing to the unit Sources of information contributing to the unit Pragmatic compositionality Pragmatic compositionality Merger representations: towards a formalization Merger representations: towards a formalization Representing time in DS Representing time in DS

12 12 Semantic analysis takes us only part of the way towards the recovery of utterance meaning. Pragmatic enrichment completes the process. Enrichment: and +> and then, and as a result some +> some but not all everybody +> everybody in the room, every acquaintance of the speaker, etc.

13 13 Modulation (Recanati 2004, 2005): The logical form becomes enriched/modulated as a result of pragmatic inference and the entire semantic/pragmatic product becomes subjected to the truth-conditional analysis.

14 14  what is said (Recanati)  primary meaning (Jaszczolt)

15 15  what is said (Recanati)  primary meaning (Jaszczolt) ? Question: How far can the logical form be extended? ‘How much pragmatics’ is allowed in the semantic representation?

16 16 The logical form of the sentence can not only be extended but also replaced by a new semantic representation when the primary, intended meaning demands it. Such extensions or substitutions are primary meanings and their representations are merger representations in Default Semantics. There is no syntactic constraint on merger representations.

18 18 (6)You are not going to die, Peter. (6a)There is no future time at which you will die, Peter. (6b)You are not going to die from this cut, Peter. (6c)There is nothing to worry about, Peter. Default Semantics: (6c) – substituted proposition (primary meaning)

19 19 (7)Everybody is going to Egypt this spring. (7a)All of the speaker’s close friends and family are going to Egypt this spring. (7b)Egypt seems to be a popular holiday destination among the people the speaker knows. (7c)The interlocutors should consider going on holiday to Egypt this spring.

24 24 Going beyond contextualism: Going beyond contextualism: DS does not recognize the level of meaning at which the logical form is pragmatically developed/modulated as a real, interesting, and cognitively justified construct. To do so would be to assume that syntax plays a privileged role among various carriers of information (contextualists’ mistake).
