In this paper we address the nature of Seque4nce of Tense (SOT), and in particular the problem of its presence/absence in different contexts. We consider complement clauses, comparing the sentential complements of saying and believing (thinking, wishing, etc.) verbs, with those of fictional predicates, such as "dream". The hypothesis we are going to argue for is that temporal anchoring is a requirement of certain contexts, not a property of verbal forms and tenses per se

Abstract
In this paper we address the nature of Seque4nce of Tense (SOT), and in particular the problem of its presence/absence in different contexts. We consider complement clauses, comparing the sentential complements of saying and believing (thinking, wishing, etc.) verbs, with those of fictional predicates, such as "dream". The hypothesis we are going to argue for is that temporal anchoring is a requirement of certain contexts, not a property of verbal forms and tenses per seFile in questo prodotto:
