Abstract

L'étude présentée ici propose une approche linguistique argumentée de la traduction des temps du passé en français et en anglais. Elle s'adresse à quiconque s'intéresse à l'analyse contrastive et à la pratique raisonnée de la langue. Si elle passe en revue de nombreux procédés méthodologiques, elle transcende le seul cadre utilitaire, et offre une réflexion approfondie sur le processus même de la traduction et sur les phénomènes linguistiques qui le sous-tendent. Le thème de la mer parcourt le corpus d'exemples en filigrane.

Abstract

This book builds a semantics for several kinds of future-referring expressions, including will sentences, be going to sentences, and futurates. While there exists previous work on future-referring expressions, this is the first treatment of such a variety of expressions in a formal semantic framework. Arguments presented herein explicate the meanings of these expressions, and account for similarities and differences among them. Shared is a future-oriented model with a systematic alternation between inertial and bouletic ordering sources that provide a new way of understanding the age-old future Law of the Excluded Middle, evident in all of the future-referring expressions. A difference found among these meanings is the presence or absence of progressive- or generic-like aspect in a position higher than the future modal. These very high aspectual operators affect the temporal argument of the modal's accessibility relation, with detectable effects that can be used to determine scope relations in future conditionals. Copley's analysis thus addresses a number of issues of great interest to formal semanticists, from modal and aspectual semantics, to the mapping of functional elements in the clause, to the logical form of conditionals.
