Mathematical Structures in Computer Science, 2020 AbstractAny modality in homotopy type theory gives rise to an orthogonal factorization system of which the left class is stable under pullbacks. We show that there is a second orthogonal factorization system associated with any modality, of which the left class is the class of ○-equivalences and the right class is the class of ○-étale maps.

Revista Alicantina de Estudios Ingleses, 1998 This paper sets out to reasess some relevance-theoretic analyses of the English modals, in particular Walton (1988), Groefsema(1995), Klinge (1993) and Berbeira Gardón (1996a), and show how a unified treatment of modal verbs is possible within the framework of Sperber and Wilson's Relevance Theory.

Derivational Modal Logics with the Difference Modality [PDF]
, 2014 In this chapter we study modal logics of topological spaces in the combined language with the derivational modality and the difference modality. We give axiomatizations and prove completeness for the following classes: all spaces, $T_1$-spaces, dense-in-themselves spaces, a zero-dimensional dense-in-itself separable metric space, $R^n$ $(n\ge 2)$.

What Modals Are: Modal Verbs, Modal Words, and Auxiliary Modals
European Researcher, 2013 The modals are a complicated grammatical phenomenon. As of today, the status of modals is still not precisely defined in the linguistics literature, and they are described under different names: modal verbs, modal words, auxiliary modals, or defective verbs.

MODAL: A multilingual corpus annotated for modality [PDF]
, 2017 We have produced a corpus annotated for modality which amounts to approximately 20,000 words in English, French, and Italian. The annotation scheme is based on the notion of epistemic construction and virtually language-independent. The annotation is rigorously evaluated by means of a newly developed strategy based on the alignment of the entire ...

Natural Language Semantics, 2009 Across languages, we find indefinites that trigger modal inferences. This article contributes to a semantic typology of these items by contrasting Spanish algun with indefinites like German irgendein or Italian uno qualsiasi. While irgendein-type indefinites trigger a Free Choice effect (Kratzer and Shimoyama 2002; Chierchia 2006), algun simply signals

On modal tenses and tensed modals [PDF]
, 2012 Our aim in this paper is to further explore the interactions between temporal configuration and modal interpretation by looking at facts from two Romance languages, French and Spanish. We concentrate on the partially diverging patterns for counterfactual readings in Spanish and French.

Analysis, 2017 [Extract] In this article the term ‘modality’, when unmodified, will refer to metaphysical modality. Metaphysical modality is what is expressed by ‘possible’ and variants such as ‘possibly’, as well as ‘it could have been the case that…’ and variants, when these are used in the broadest objective sense.
