It is argued that double access sentences are interpreted de re with respect to a state described by the embedded clause. The de re interpretation is manifested by postulating a tense movement. However, this de re analysis has some serious problems, as pointed out by Gennari (1999, 2003). As an alternative approach, Gennari (1999, 2003) and Altshuler & Schwarzchild (2013) propose that a double access reading is due to the semantics of the present tense without postulating any particular mechanism that applies to embedded tenses. In this squib, I argue that their uniform approach to embedded and non-embedded tenses also faces its own shortcomings, which can shed some new light on the interpretation of embedded tenses.
Abstract
It is argued that double access sentences are interpreted de re with respect to a state described by the embedded clause. The de re interpretation is manifested by postulating a tense movement. However, this de re analysis has some serious problems, as pointed out by Gennari (1999, 2003). As an alternative approach, Gennari (1999, 2003) and Altshuler & Schwarzchild (2013) propose that a double access reading is due to the semantics of the present tense without postulating any particular mechanism that applies to embedded tenses. In this squib, I argue that their uniform approach to embedded and non-embedded tenses also faces its own shortcomings, which can shed some new light on the interpretation of embedded tenses.
