Mind, 1966
Abstract In this paper, a confusion between evaluative and prescriptive uses of “ought” is located, and the prescriptive use of deontic operators is then recommended.

Acquisition of epistemic and deontic meaning of modals
Journal of Child Language, 1982ABSTRACTModal auxiliaries have an epistemic and deontic sense and range in strength, e.g. must propositions are stronger than may propositions. Children (ages 3; 0–6; 6) heard two contradictory modal propositions of varying strength. In the epistemic condition, the propositions concerned the location of a peanut.

From deontic modality to conditionality
Journal of Historical Pragmatics, 2022AbstractWhile epistemic modality has been suggested to be a modal source of conditionality, deontic modality has been generally overlooked. Using data from Classical Chinese and the Invited Inferencing Theory of Semantic Change, this study demonstrates that the deontic modalbitends to invite inferences of conditionality in contexts where it is used ...

Relativised deontic modalities in SDL
1998A normative rule is aimed at actors, who are expected to follow the norms specified by the (relevant) authority. The addition of actors to DDL allows us to express who has the responsibility for performing an action. For instance, the applicability of the norm ‘it is obligatory to perform action β (O(β))’ depends on the individual for whom the norm is ...

Modality, as it is usually understood in contemporary philosophy, has to do with necessities and possibilities. Deontic modality is a kind of modality which has to do with what is necessary or possible according to various rules, such as the norms of morality, the principles of practical rationality or the laws of some country.

Deontic Modals with Complex Acts
2015The paper identifies a key pragmatic principle that is responsible for the information-sensitivity of deontic modals. Information-sensitivity has been extensively discussed in the recent linguistic and philosophical literature, in connection with a decision problem known as the Miners’ puzzle (Kolodny and MacFarlane 2010).

Combinations of Tense and Deontic Modality
2004We consider three infinite hierarchies of what I call ”two-dimensional temporal logics with explicit realization operators”, viz. (i) one without historical or deontic modalities, (ii) one with historical but without deontic modalities, and (iii) one with historical and with dyadic deontic modalities for conditional obligation and permission.

Weighted Modal Logic in Epistemic and Deontic Contexts
2021We introduce a type of weighted modal logic with explicit weights both in the language and in the models. The framework has its applications in epistemic logic for reasoning about agents’ knowledge based on their capability, and in deontic logic for agents’ choices based on their deontic capability or utilities.

On the Reduction of Modalities in Deontic Calculuses
Mathematical structures and modeling, 2017Formal theories of deontic logic based on the Gentzen-type propositional calculus are considered. Syntactic and semantic differences between alethic and deontic calculi are analyzed in terms of the reduction of sequences of successive modal signs.
