 Early proponents of this view often claimed that ‘\(S\) is now \(F\)’ meant ‘\(S\)’s being \(F\) is simultaneous with this utterance,’ a quite implausible claim. A more sophisticated version of the view is that the truth-conditions of sentences like ‘\(S\) is now \(F\)’ can be given solely in terms of the (tenseless) facts that exist or events that occur at the time of the utterance or inscription of the given sentence. One can treat past and future in a similar fashion. (Dyke, 2013)
