New Book by Angelika Kratzer: Modals and Conditionals Again

Angelika Kratzer is preparing a book on modals and conditionals for Oxford University Press, bringing together her classic works on this topic and much more. A first chapter, an updated version of “What must and can must and can mean”, is available on the Semantics Archive.

This is the first chapter of a book manuscript. The book will bring together most of my previous work on the topic of modals and conditionals. The original work has been edited for style, cut or merged to avoid overlap, translated if necessary, and supplemented with additional material for purposes of clarification. In addition, there are a few new chapters connecting the older work to the current state of the art. I will post drafts of the chapters as they become available. Any comments are highly appreciated.
