    "title": "An Approach to the Semantics of some English Temporal Constructions",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "This paper outlines a general framework for giving the meanings of temporal prepositions (and some related adverbials) in \nEnglish. The framework takes the form of a method for translating English sentences involving these adverbials into an expressively limited temporal logic, whose operators permit only \nrestricted quantification over subintervals of a given interval. \nWe illustrate our approach with reference to the temporal adverbials one Monday, every Monday, on Monday, in July, for \nfive minutes and in two hours. W e pay special attention to sentences containing multiple temporal adverbials. In particular, \nwe show how some of our Unguistic intuitions concerning the \nacceptability of combinations of temporal adverbials prevent \nus from entertaining sentences that are either logical falsdioods \nor logically equivalent to simpler sentences.",
