This is a most welcome, challenging and insightful book...an invaluable source of information for both students and senior researchers in linguistic semantics. (Ferenc Keifer, The Journal of Linguistics)
This book is sure to be recognized as the most thorough systematic survey of the semantics of modality yet undertaken...written with admirable care (Frank Veltman, Professor of Logic and Cognitive Science, University of Amsterdam)
...constitutes an ideal introduction for the beginner; but also the expert will learn from it...An extremely valuable, up to date, inspiring resource. (Gennaro Chierchia, Haas Foundations Professor of Linguistics, Harvard University)
A self-contained monograph, it does not assume much familiarity on the reader's part with modal logic or any major theory of linguistic modality, so that those who have just started exploring modality will find the book very accessible and helpful. On the other hand, experts will find the book an excellent resource to turn to when they want to have a quick brush-up on one theory of modality or another. An authoritative figure on linguistic modality, Portner takes an unimposing position when presenting his own ideas (where applicable). Overall the book is a great pleasure to read. (Zhiguo Xie, Department of Linguistics, Cornell University)
This is a book about semantic theories of modality. Its main goal is to explain and evaluate important contemporary theories within linguistics and to discuss a wide range of linguistic phenomena from the perspective of these theories. The introduction describes the variety of grammatical phenomena associated with modality, explaining why modal verbs, adjectives, and adverbs represent the core phenomena. Chapters are then devoted to the possible worlds semantics for modality developed in modal logic; current theories of modal semantics within linguistics; and the most important empirical areas of research. The author concludes by discussing the relation between modality and other topics, especially tense, aspect, mood, and discourse meaning.
Paul Portner's accessible guide to this key area of current research will be welcomed by students of linguistics at graduate level and above, as well as by researchers in philosophy, computational science, and related fields.
