    <Paragraph position="0"> The adjuncts of duration require an analysis in terms of two mutually independent distinctions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> One concerns the aspectual class of the modified VP and is widely acknowledged as relevant.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The other concerns the distinction between floating and anchored interpretations and is often ignored; its relevance, though, is clear from both crosslingual and monolingual data. For the analysis of the four types of durational adjuncts I have employed an extended version of HPSG. The extensions mainly concern the addition of times and temporal objects to the semantic ontology and the notation. The resulting analysis captures both the similarities and the differences between the four types of adjuncts, and provides an account for the fact that the floating adjuncts can be outscoped by a VP quantifier, whereas the anchored ones cannot. null</Paragraph>
