1 Pragmatics and Grammar as Sources of Temporal Ordering in Discourse: The Case of And Kasia M. Jaszczolt and Roberto B. Sileo Forthoming in: Macagno, F., Capone, A. (eds) Inquiries in Philosophical Pragmatics. Cham: Springer. Abstract The source of the temporal reading of sentential and coordination is still a matter of dispute. In this paper we briefly introduce the seminal approaches, highlight the fact that they all cater for sub-categories of cases, and present a case for a unified account. We discuss several case studies, following the methodology we defend here according to which, due to the nature of the phenomenon, what is required is an in-depth, essentially qualitative study of potential counterexamples across relevant scenarios. Next, we focus on some new questions these case studies highlight, in particular a hypothesis concerning the role of the degree of eventhood. We conclude with a summary of our argument in favour of a unified account of temporal and coordination that, as we argue, covers a wider domain and at the same time fulfils the subject-specific objectives of its alternatives. 1 Introduction: Anaphoric Tenses, Anaphoric Scenarios It goes without saying, and can be accepted without a need for empirical corroboration, that sentences such as (1) and (2) are interpreted in such a way that the second event is understood as following the first, and as such as dependent on the first in some way.
