Descriptive Indexicals and Epistemic Modality [PDF]

Topoi, 2015
In this paper I argue for a non-referential interpretation of some uses of indexicals embedded under epistemic modals. The so-called descriptive uses of indexicals come in several types and it is argued that those embedded within the scope of modal operators do not require non-referential interpretation, provided the modality is interpreted as ...

Seismic Design of Concrete Dams: An Integrated Risk‐Informed Performance‐Based (RIPB) Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.

Modal-epistemic variants of Shapiro's system of epistemic arithmetic. [PDF]

Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic, 1994
Shapiro's Epistemic Arithmetic, EA, adds an operator, \(K\), to classical first-order arithmetic; this operator, interpreted informally as `is provable in principle', has an S4-like (Barcan-free) modal structure. First-order Heyting arithmetic, HA, can then be translated naturally into EA so that a formula \(A\) is provable in HA iff its translation is

Anglophonia, 2015
This study focuses on the modal and evidential values of must / devoir. The major difficulty is that evidentiality is not clearly grammaticalized neither in English nor French, unlike Amerindian languages such as Tuyuca or Bosavi.
