Graded Modality: Qualitative and Quantitative Perspectives - Oxford Studies in Semantics and Pragmatics
Lassiter, Daniel (Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics, Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics, Stanford University)
This book explores graded expressions of modality, such as more likely than and quite possible, which provide a rich and underexplored source of insight into modal semantics. The volume explores and expands the typology of scales among English adjectives and uses the result to shed light on the meanings of a variety of epistemic and deontic modals.
