摘要
The revolution in semantics in the late 1960s and 1970s overturned an earlier competing paradigm, 'translational' semantics. I revive and defend Prior's translational semantics for modals and tense-modals. I also show how to extend Prior's propositional modal semantics to quantificational modal logic, and use the resulting semantics to formalize Prior's own counterexample to the Barcan Formula.
