Meaning and the Dynamics of Interpretation brings together fourteen papers by Hans Kamp, whose research is concerned with formal linguistics, philosophy of language, logic, cognitive science and computer science. Central to this research are problems of presupposition, context dependency, vagueness of meaning, the dynamic character of interpretation, the issues contributing to the version of dynamic semantics known as Discourse Representation Theory, and associated with the dynamic turn in the study of meaning and interpretation.

Temporal Overlap

Carl Vikner: "Against complete precedence and temporal overlap in the semantics of tense and aspect". The paper criticizes the use of the relations complete precedence and temporal overlap, in some recent and influential works of Hans Kamp, to represent the temporal relations between events and situations as expressed by French Passé Simple and Imparfait. These relations are replaced by the relation of (simple) precedence defined over beginnings of events and by the relation of inclusion holding between the beginning of an event and a situation in its entirety.
