I thought this kind of thing will go away when I become senior. Not really. Session chairs call names of other people who raise their hand in QA sessions; some of them struggle to name me when I raise my hand. Either they can't pronounce it or they just can't bother remembering it

We also provide a new analysis of the semantic inferences associated with the "non-factive" type embedding strategy. It modifies the clause by introducing an additional linguistic production event systematically related to the main attitudinal event

We show that cases where interrogatives are embedded using the two strategies shed a new light on the puzzle in Turkish & Japanese: Factivity alternation is a subcase of a more general phenomenon where preds impose semantic restrictions on their arguments but not on adjuncts

Thanks this is a good shout! It won’t be appropriate for the modals paper I’m referencing, but it’ll be good for another project. The deadline is a bit tight though…😬

Our main goal is to showcase the dataset, and so there is no in-depth theoretical analysis. We are worried that many semantics or theoretical ling journals don't like a paper of this nature. Any recommendations? 3/3

We also include 4 case studies where we investigate various x-ling hypotheses about modals using the data (i) on force/flavor variability (ii) on impossibility/non-necessity (iii) on the morphological encoding of modal strengths and (iv) on how future contributes to modality. 2/3
