Anatomy of a Modal

Sabine Iatridou and I have just finished the first draft of our paper “Anatomy of a Modal”, which treats material that we have been presenting in various places, including invited talks at GLOW and SALT last year. Get it while it’s hot:

Sabine is going on a roadshow where she will be presenting this paper and some other until very recently dormant work of ours. When she is back, we hope to finalize the Anatomy paper for submission to Linguistic Inquiry. Whether or not it gets accepted by LI, the paper will first appear as a working paper in a forthcoming “modality” volume of our department’s MIT Working Papers in Philosophy and Linguistics.

So, if you have any comments or helpful criticism, we would especially appreciate them if we can get them within the next few weeks.
