Rules for anaphoric relations

Anaphoric Rule 1:
(A type of relation A-co-reference)
The times discussed are similar; the resulting frame is the union of both times.
\begin{figure}for each non-empty Temporal Unit $TU_{fl}$\space from $FL$ , start... ...\em \lq\lq How about 2?'' resolved to 2pm Tue 24 Sept } \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}

Anaphoric Rule 2:
(A type of relation A-less-specific)
The current utterance evokes a time that includes the time evoked by a previous time, and the current time is less specific.
\begin{figure}for each non-empty Temporal Unit $TU_{fl}$\space from $FL$ , start... ...cific than the one}\\ & {\em on the focus list.} \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}

Anaphoric Rule 3:
(A type of relation A-frame-of-reference)
A forward time is calculated with respect to a time on the Focus List as a frame of reference.
Subcase i:

\begin{figure}{\bf if not} isDeictic({\em TU}) {\bf then} \\ {\hspace*{0.125in}... ...Tuesday is better for me.'' resolved to Tue 1 Oct} \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}

Subcase ii:

\begin{figure}{\bf if not} isDeictic({\em TU}) {\bf then} \\ {\hspace*{0.125in}... ... & {\em to the Monday following Monday the 30th.} \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}





Anaphoric Rule 4:
(A type of relation A-modify)
The current time is a modification of a previous time
\begin{figure}{\bf if not} isDeictic({\em TU}) {\bf then} \\ {\hspace*{0.125in}... ...is better for me.'' resolved to 3 pm, Tue 24 Sept} \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}

The following anaphoric rules do not appear in the paper.

Anaphoric Rule 6:
(A type of relation A-frame-of-reference)
Subcase i:

\begin{figure}{\bf if not}(isDeictic({\em TU})) {\bf then} \\ {\hspace*{0.125in... ... sounds good'' resolved to Tue 8 Oct - Fri 11 Oct} \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}

Subcase ii:

\begin{figure}{\bf if not}(isDeictic({\em TU})) {\bf then} \\ {\hspace*{0.125in... ...k is better'' resolved to Thu 10 Oct - Fri 11 Oct} \\ \end{tabular}\end{figure}
