Building on the logical tradition of possible world semantics, this book presents an ambitious theory of linguistic modality by exploring the rich and diverse empirical domain of modal phenomena, covering a wide variety of languages. It is essential reading for scholars of semantics, pragmatics, linguistic typology, and discourse analysis.
