Rolf:
My faith in the admirable clarity and rigor of your analysis is
profoundly shaken by this:
It is a fundamental linguistic truth that verbs used in narrativeshave past reference.
On what basis do you make this assertion? It seems to me neither
self-evident nor borne out by linguistic fact, teste folktale and joke
on the one hand, and the practice of many eminent writers of fiction on
the other.
