This book contains updated and substantially revised versions of Angelika Kratzer's classic papers on modals and conditionals, including "What 'must' and 'can' must and can mean," "Partition and Revision," "The Notional Category of Modality," "Conditionals," "An Investigation of the Lumps of Thought," and "Facts: Particulars or Information Units?" The book's contents add up to some of the most important work on modals and conditionals in particular and on the semantics-syntax interface more generally. It will be of central interest to linguists and philosophers of language of all theoretical persuasions.

Like other modal verbs, modals of necessity are guilty of strange behavior. Learn about their feisty habits with this infographic.

Mastering the Irregular Verbs and Modals

English verbs are reputed to be simple. Having relatively few inflected forms, they are indeed easier to master than the verbs of many other languages. For that reason, perhaps, no book of English verb conjugations like those we are accustomed to in Spanish and French, has, until now been published.

Modals and Quasi-modals in English reports the findings of a corpus-based study of the modals and a set of semantically-related 'quasi-modals' in English. The study is the largest and most comprehensive to date in this area, and is informed by recent developments in the study of modality, including grammaticalization and recent diachronic change. The selection of the parallel corpora used, representing British, American and Australian English, was designed to facilitate the exploration of both regional and stylistic variation.
