5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have shown that tense and aspect can be analyzed compositionally in a way that accounts not only for their more obvious effects on sentence meaning but also, via tense trees, for their cumulative effect on context and the temporal relations implicit in such contexts. As such, the analysis seems to fit well with higher-level analyses of discourse segment structure, though questions remain about the flow of information between levels. null</Paragraph>
