temporal adverbials
<p>The present and past tense can both get the simultaneous interpretation in comple-<br>
ment clauses when they are embedded under the past tense in Russian. However,<br>
I observe that the adverbials that are allowed with present tense in such contexts<br>
(for example, sejčas ‘now’) are not allowed with the past tense and vice verse (for<br>
example, togda ‘then’ is not allowed with the present). I show that simply restrict-<br>
ing the meaning of those adverbials does not help due to the fact that tenses can<br>
be interpreted de re. In de re construals, tenses are interpreted outside of the clause<br>
they originate in, so no meaning conflict between the tense and the adverbial in<br>
the embedded clause is predicted. I propose that when a tense is interpreted de re,<br>
an adverbial has to be interpreted de re together with it. I show that under this<br>
assumption the observed restriction follows in a direct way.</p>
