    Questions like this are answered and discussed in Fillmore's Deixis Lectures (which are not mentioned, let alone linked, in the "possible duplicate" answer above, btw); specifically, Lecture 3 "Time". – John Lawler Jan 19 '13 at 17:23
  • OK, I see the second link above now references Fillmore. Thank you. In the sweet bye-and-bye, when all the duplicates have been merged, tagged, and indexed properly, no doubt this will be helpful. – John Lawler Jan 19 '13 at 19:33
