<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Lingtyp users,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>a month ago (Aug. 4th) I posted a query
concerning the use of 'will' as deontic/necessity modal. I got many interesting
answers and I wish to thank all the colleagues who sent me the requested
information. They are cited in the attachment, which is a fragment of a lecture
I'll give at the end of this month in Cagliari at congress of the Societa'
Italiana di Glottologia (SIG). I have elaborated the information I got in
footnotes 1 and 2 (which are here offered in an Engl. version).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Best,</FONT></DIV>
