According to what I call the identity view, omissions are actual events. For example, the nominal ‘Ali's non-jogging’ denotes whatever Ali is doing at the time she is said not to be jogging. Some have objected that omissions (and more generally absences) cannot be events, since the two do not have the same causal relations. I show how advocates of the identity view can offer a pragmatic account of the data the objection relies on.

遗漏及其影响

根据我所说的身份观, 遗漏是真实事件。例如，名义上的“Ali's non-jogging”表示阿里在她被称为不慢跑时所做的任何事情。一些人反对遗漏（以及更普遍的缺席）不可能是事件，因为两者没有相同的因果关系。我展示了身份观点的倡导者如何对反对所依赖的数据提供实用的说明。
