Annotation

F. sketches a framework to account for the ability of native speakers to associate the possible standard uses or forces of a sentence with the sentence itself (e.g. to explain how a speaker knows that 'John may leave now' normally counts as a prediction, the giving of permission, etc. but not normally as a plea, a request for information, etc.). F. considers both the role of sentence meaning and the role of context in determining force.
