Sabine and I just finished the final revisions of our paper on the Sufficiency Modal Construction as in To get good cheese in Boston, you only have to go to the North End. The paper will appear some time next year in Linguistic Inquiry.

An older, more exploratory, and lengthier version (but with a shorter title) appeared as a working paper in 2005. We will continue to make the old version available, because it does contain some interesting cross-linguistic investigations and open puzzles.

We started working on this paper in 2002, so it’s good to have put the final touches on it.
