The paper mentioned above is about the fact that some temporal adverbials (or deitics) cannot occur with the perfect tense in English, although it is a possibility in other languages:
(1) a. ?? We saw John last night. He had arrived yesterday…
b. We saw John this morning. He had arrived yesterday…
c. We saw John last night. He had arrived the same day…
I took the liberty to put and excerpt from and a link to Pacheva’s paper in my blog.
