epistemic modality, measure semantics, ?nite additivity, qualitative additivity, relative likelihood, qualitative probability, ordering semantics, completeness theorems Yalcin (2006, 2009, 2010) to result from Kratzer's (1991)semantics. In contrast to the alternative semantics presented by Yalcin and Lassiter (2010, 2011)based on ?nitely additive measures, we introduce semantics based on qualitatively additive measures, as well as semantics based on purely qualitative orderings, including orderings on propositions derived from orderings on worlds in the tradition of Kratzer (1991, 2012). All of these semantics avoid the entailment problems that result from Kratzer’s semantics. Our discussion focuses on methodological issues concerning the choice between different semantics.
