Over the past thirty-two years, Quine has presented a number of arguments against the modalities, his criticism culminating in Word and Object. During the same period, modal logic has flourished as never before, and a number of semantic systems for the different modalities have been proposed, apparently quite unencumbered by Quine’s criticism.

Peter van Inwagen agrees. In this paper, I argue that restrictivists need not use such examples of relation R as a criterion for

Modal Realism, Modal Rationalism, Modal Naturalism
2012This chapter summarizes the accounts of modal realism, modal rationalism, and modal naturalism. It details the author's attempt to develop a framework that is compatible with the denial of actualist accounts of modality.

The findings of the present study of selected modals and quasi-modals in matching corpora of Australian, New Zealand, British and American English reinforce those of diachronic investigations attesting to the rising popularity of the quasi-modals and declining fortunes of the modals in recent decades.
