Aspects of Until - Naumann, Osswald (1999) (Correct)
....involving temporal measure phrases like two seconds before. Because of this and other problems Hamann raises the question of whether the notion of reference time should at all be used for the interpretation of temporal clauses. Based on the di erence between the interpretation of (3a) and (3b) Hitzeman (1991) and Tovena (1995) put forward a similar argument. That the interpretation of until sentences depends on the aspectual class of the sentence in the until clause poses a problem for both indirect and direct approaches: Despite their di erence in aspectual behaviour, the sentences John walked and ....
....third reading according to which John was jobless at least up to some point in December. In this case, December is taken as an element of the sequence of months. On this reading John was without a job at least until December as opposed to November or January. 25 This observation is also made by Hitzeman (1991). 26 Note that for adverbials are in general interpreted in a non strict sense, i.e. they allow the run time to be longer than the interval denoted by them. John ran for ten minutes. In e ect, he ran for twenty minutes. 10 restriction imposed by for adverbials is exactly the same as that ....

Studies on Polarity Sensitivity - Tovena (1996) (Correct)
....adverbials help in associating a temporal interval with the predicate. This interval specifies the time at which the predicate has to be evaluated. In the literature, prepositions heading temporal adverbials have been treated as binary operators which take eventualities as arguments (Hitzeman [Hit91] This perspective allows one to focus on the properties of the eventualities and to highlight the relevance of the distinction between eventualities with well defined and poorly defined termination points. I adopt this view of temporal adverbials as operators, but I do not deem necessary for ....
....apply to any other NPI in general, or polarity time adverb in particular, e.g. yet. Another trend in the literature, which could be referred to as the tense and aspect analysis, treats until as a unique element, see Klima [Kli64] Smith [Smi75] Mittwoch s [Mit77] reply to Karttunen, Hitzeman [Hit91] and references therein. Although there are noticeable differences among these analyses, their characterization of until as a durative adverbial rests on the crucial assumption that negated eventualities are duratives. The proposal put forward hereafter has points in common and in contrast with ....
