On temporal relations inside DPs and their restriction

This paper is an investigation into the temporal relations we find inside simple DPs. Specifically, I explore the relationship between two DP-internal times: the evaluation time (ET) of the noun and the resource time (RT), which is the time that contributes to the implicit domain restriction. At the center of the investigation is the observation that ET and RT can be temporally disjoint. It is further argued that the temporal relation between ET and RT is subject to restrictions that reveal how ET and RT depend on each other. Finally, I compare different ways of analyzing DP-internal temporality.
