18th AIAA Non-Deterministic Approaches Conference, 2016 At the initial design stage engineers oft.en rely onlow-fldelity models that have high epistemic uncertainty.

We firstdistinguish PF from epistemic necessity and possibility, as well as from weaknecessity modals, providing in the process the main empirical challenges PF raises.We then propose and justify a semantic ...

Epistemic modals, deduction, and factivity: new insights from the epistemic future
Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2019 The epistemic future (e.g., the epistemic uses of English will) is often analyzed on a par with epistemic must. We provide novel empirical evidence from English and Romanian in deduction and factive contexts to argue that this identical treatment is not warranted.

A unified analysis of the future as epistemic modality [PDF]
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, 2017 We offer an analysis of the Greek and Italian future morphemes as epistemic modal operators. The main empirical motivation comes from the fact that future morphemes have systematic purely epistemic readings-not only in Greek and Italian, but also in Dutch, German, and En-glish will.
