Annotation

This book on semantic theories of modality attempts to explain and assess important contemporary linguistic theories and to consider a variety of linguistic phenomena from the viewpoint of these theories. It also discusses the link between modality and other topics, such as tense, aspect, mood, and discourse meaning.
