 A considerable literature in linguistics has pursued Reichenbach’s ideas about the logical form and semantics of conversational language, especially about tense and the logical form of adverbial modification (see Binnick in the Other Internet Resources section below for a bibliography). Kamp (2013) lays out in some detail the enormous influence in linguistics of Reichenbach’s short comments in Elements of Symbolic Logic (pp. 289–298) that recognized the distinction between speech time, reference time and event time in the logical analysis of tense. Thus, in the past perfect (“had slept”) the event time precedes reference time, which precedes speech time, while in the simple past (“slept”) the event time coincides with reference time, while both precede speech time (see also Malatesta 2016). The subsequent analysis of reference time and its relation to event time led to the development of formal semantics that could handle a rich representation of context (e.g. Kamp’s own Discourse Representation Theory). In an ambitious book-length study of Reichenbach’s theory, McMahon (1976) takes Reichenbach’s proposal to be a progenitor of Chomsky’s theory of syntax, and attempts to supplement Reichenbach’s account with appropriate re-write rules. Reichenbach’s own discussion contains no explicit generative grammar or computational models.
