National Colonialism: Nation‐State, Colonialism and Colonisation of Kurdistan

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.

Ability as dependence modality

Noûs, EarlyView.
Abstract Some modal expressions in language—for example, “can” and “able”—describe what is possible in light of someone's abilities. Ability modals are obviously related to other modalities in language, such as epistemic or deontic modality, but also give rise to anomalies that make them unique.

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
