About this document
Understanding Modalities in Language by Brenda Gómez is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an introduction to three topics related to understanding the semantics of modal elements: modal flavour, modal force, and modal-temporal interactions. It discusses how these concepts are treated in Kratzerian semantics and presents cross-linguistic data showing how languages can vary in how they express these meanings. The document also points to ongoing debates and questions regarding modality that remain unanswered.
