Integrated Formalization for Temporal Referentialities

Abstract

It is common knowledge that natural languages are complex. All utterances are uttered directly by the speaker and are
described over the passage of time, which is called “temporal referentiality” (called also the “frame of reference”), which is the
axis of time. However, not all utterances are described in “enunciative referentiality,” which is the speaker's time axis. For
example, utterances that are not described in the present time, such as utterances with fictional meaning, narrative or
historical facts, or indirect speech,are not realized in the speaker's time axis. Rather, they require a new axis of time, such as an
axis of time that has not been realized or an axis of indirect speech, or an axis of time that has not yet been realized but
contains possibilities. Therefore, to analyze various types of utterances, other types of referentialities are required in addition
to enunciative referentiality. In addition, enunciative operations that allow the insertion of predicative relations into the
temporal frame of reference should be considered. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the necessity and applicability
of enunciative operations to formally conceptualize various types of situations expressed by predicate relations that form the
basis of utterances. For these works, logico-linguistic systems, such as locative detection systems, and the cognitive linguistic
theories such as temporal referentiality theory are used. These methodologies can be used to perform enunciative operations,
resulting in the most general and canonical abstract schema. This schema is ultimately applicable to any natural language and is
the primary abstract form for the computerization of natural languages.
