Abstract

A semantics for tense, modality, and aspect in natural l anguage must capture causal and contingent rel ations between events and states, as well as merely tempora l ones. The paper investigates a non-reified, dynamic logic-based, formulation of the situation calculus as a formalism for a computational semantics for a number of temporal categories in English , and suggests that some recent claims that dynamic logics are inherently unsuitable for this purpose have taken too narrow a view of the situation calculi .
