From time to time, Mr. Clinton has generated the wrong kind of attention, like when he said in Iowa that he had been against the invasion of Iraq from the beginning, a statement that did not seem to be in line with his public utterances at the time.
The prompt-independent front-end achieves inferior results, but enables front-end users to utter any permitted utterance at any time, irrespective of the system prompt.
Among verb forms, the Indo-European aorist (indicating simple occurrence of an action without reference to duration or completion) and perfect (indicating an action or state completed at the time of utterance or at a time spoken of) combined, and the conjunctive (expressing ideas contrary to fact) and optative (expressing a wish or hope) merged to form the subjunctive mood.
It works for presuppositions but not for assertions, which are not in the common ground at the time of utterance.
If a presupposition P is not in the common ground at the time of utterance, the hearer can legitimately challenge the speaker by using "Hey, wait a minute!
In this case, whether it is correct or not, at the time of utterance, to assert that it will rain, or that it will not rain, is irrelevant to the correctness of an assertoric utterance of the conditional itself.
The indeterminacy intuition leads us to think the truth-value of future contingents is indeterminate at the time of utterance, and either true or false at a later time (cf. MacFarlane 2003; Carter 2011).
Yet clearly it is not necessary in any sort of metaphysical sense that a particular speaker be wherever she happens to be at the time of utterance; she could have just as easily been somewhere else instead.[11] Suppose that there is a knock on the door and you assume that it is your mother, whom you are expecting.
As we have seen, contextualism, as typically conceived, takes the truth of utterances such as "S knows that p" to be determined by the attributer's standards employed at the time of the utterance.
In the case of many simple sentences, context and circumstance coincide; details aside, they both just are the state of the world at the time of the utterance, with a designated speaker and place.
