To investigate entailment step by step, we ad-dress here a much simpler and clearer type ofentailment than the more complex notion takenup by the RTE community. While RTE is out-side our present scope, we do focus on QP entail-ment as Natural Logic does. However, our eval-uation differs from[r]

tor updates and mode switches are considered synchronous activities; there-fore, they take zero logical time to execute.In TDL [16] the notion of a mode is preserved; however, the model isextended to include a module, a TDL component.

subjunctive in finite complements. A more general approach, which also takes main clauseand other uses into account, can be found in Achard (2002).29. In independent sentences, the conditional is found to have an attenuating effect,often making the utterance more polite. Note that Achard does not dis[r]

Unlike the first argument, this argument is a cogent one.In a sentence like Mary told me on the phone last night that at the dinner party tomor-row she would suddenly say that she felt sick, the past tense form felt refers to asituation which lies in the post-present (i. e. which is W-posterior to t[r]
