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 .","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/166","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/0166.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/166.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/bibtex/166","volume":{"slug":"1995","title":"Proceedings of the Fourteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1995","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1995/","year":1995,"location":"Montréal, Québec, Canada","dates":"","editors":"Chris S.
