| Citazioni | • “Level 2 satellites”: these represent the “lexical” means by which an SoA [state of affairs] can be located with respect to the parameters mentioned. Thus, a satellite such as “yesterday” locates the SoA in the time interval consisting of the day preceding the day of speaking; and a satellite such as “in Africa” locates the SoA in the continent of that name. Level 2 satellites (σ2) represent the lexical means through which the SoA [state of affairs] designated by nuclear predication can be located with respect to spatial, temporal, and cognitive dimensions. |
