[Lingtyp] Typology of speaker attitude expressions?

[Emily M. Bender]

Dear all,

I'm interested in whether anyone has done any cross-linguistic
work on speaker attitude expressions, i.e. forms that express
the speaker's attitude vis-a-vis the content of a proposition they
are asserting (e.g. in English `fortunately' or `hopefully' and the
like).

I'm writing about semantics and pragmatics for an NLP audience
and want to include some information about how this kind
of meaning is encoded cross-linguistically.

Thank you,
Emily
