Abstract
This paper is toexpand on this by further investigating the subtle connections between time andevents. After a brief review, in the first part we shall generalize the notion of anevent structure to that of a refinement structure, where various degrees of temporalgranularity are accommodated. In the second part we shall then investigate howthese structures can account for the context-dependence of temporal structures innatural language semantics.Keywords
