Using temporal expressions to indicate relations other than temporal ones is a well-documented phenomenon. This study aims to tackle the problem from a procedural pragmatic perspective, an approach that considers that certain expressions – temporal adverbs and connectives in this case – encode instructions guiding the addressee to infer the relevant relations between the constituent parts of utterances to obtain the most appropriate interpretation. Here, a dozen English and French temporal expressions are described and analyzed with the aim of understanding how and why they could be used non-temporally, and proposing a general outline for the type of procedure such expressions could encode.

Remarques sur l’usage interprétatif putatif du futur
(2006)
Morency, Patrick
;
De Saussure, Louis
In this article we will take a look at a particular epistemic usage of the French future tense. Our approach is a radically pragmatic one, where we posit that what should be taken into account for the interpretation of such occurrences depends more upon pragmatic than semantic aspects. Building upon Sperber & Wilson’s distinction between descriptive and non-descriptive usages of language and the notion of metarepresentation (1995 [1986]), we propose to analyze the function of the French futur putatif from our procedural pragmatics perspective. We posit that certain expressions, and among them the French future tense, possess a procedural algorithm that allows the hearer to reach different interpretations, depending on different contextualizations, which are obtained through relevance-searching. Such procedural instructions enable the hearer to easily draw the intended complex inferences.
