Description

Explore a new formal semantic framework for understanding how language refers to the future. The Semantics of the Future (Outstanding Dissertations in Linguistics) provides a comprehensive analysis of various future-referring expressions. This work examines will sentences, be going to sentences, and futurates within a unified model. This book offers a unique perspective by addressing a wide variety of expressions that previous studies have treated separately. By providing a systematic treatment, the text explains the specific meanings of these expressions and accounts for the similarities and differences that exist between them. Readers will encounter a future-oriented model that utilizes a systematic alternation between inertial and bouletic ordering sources. This approach offers a fresh way to understand the age-old concept of the future through the lens of formal linguistics. It is an essential resource for those studying language reference and semantic theory.
