Fernando, Tim A finite-state approach to events in natural language semantics. (English) Zbl 1156.68598 J. Log. Comput. 14, No. 1, 79-92 (2004). Summary: Events in natural language semantics are characterized in terms of regular languages, each string in which can be regarded as a temporal sequence of observations. The usual regular constructs (concatenation, etc.) are supplemented with superposition, inducing a useful notion of entailment, distinct from that given by models of predicate logic.
