Detail Modality, weights, and inconsistent premise sets   Oleh:  Silk, Alex Jenis: Article from Proceeding Dalam koleksi: Proceedings of the 22nd Semantics and Linguistic Theory Conference, held at University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, May 18-20, 2012, page 43-64. Topik: Modality  Priorities  Weak necessity modals  Strong necessity modals Fulltext: 43-64.pdf (153.39KB) Isi artikel This paper investigates two types of data that appear to motivate complicating the semantics for weak necessity modals. I argue that these data can be captured using the same conceptual resources within a conservative extension of the standard quantificational semantics. The resulting analysis illuminates previously puzzling and underappreciated semantic and pragmatic properties of weak and strong necessity modals, and clarifies the special role that expressions of weak necessity play in conversation, deliberation, and planning.
