    Re: Linguist 12.2075

    Sometime back I had sent a posting to the LINGUIST, asking for literature on Mood and Modality, which give a syntactico-semantic analysis of the subject. Following persons replied

    Ressy ai <raiuci.edu> 1) Palmer (1986): ("Mood and Modality". Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.) 2) Her proposal for this subject for the summer fellowship in UCI (University of California, Irvine.)

    Ken Hughes hughesunixg.ubc.ca

    He did a thesis a few years back which argues for a "bi-clausal" analysis of modal auxiliary verbs, and discusses a range of issues such as:

    o semantic emptiness and the pivotal role of infinitival TO w.r.t. non-finite (i.e. tenseless) nested propositions, including a survey of the range of the types of modality in English (following Palmer);

    o some brief address to using Husserl's transcendental phenemenology for a constrained version of intentionality to address some of the semantic issues.

    He sent the addresses of the following websites : 1) A summary and pdf doc at http://www.educ.ubc.ca/courses/hughes

    2)A brief paper that was accepted for the current Verona Conference on Modality at http://www.interchange.ubc.ca/hughes/hughesVerona.pdf

    Thank you very much. Ken Hughes web addresses turned out to be most valuable, because I was able to download his thesis and the papers from there. Palmer's book I already have. I couldnot get the papers of Chunmin Lee. Some people wanted me to pass on the literature that I receive. Unfortunately I can't, since I didnot get them. If I do, I will, for sure. If some more web addresses can be suggested, so that I can download from there, I'll be really grateful.

    Thanx in advance . Sharbani Banerji sharbevsnl.net (Contact address): D-84, 'Matri Mandir', Sector-IX, New Vijay Nagar, Ghaziabad-201,009, U.P. India.
