Abstract:

Building on the logical tradition of possible world semantics, this
book presents an ambitious theory of linguistic modality by exploring
the rich and diverse empirical domain of modal phenomena, covering a
wide variety of languages. It is essential reading for scholars of
semantics, pragmatics, linguistic typology, and discourse analysis.
