Deals with theoretical and practical aspects of expressing subjectivity in English, concentrating on cognitive predicates and modal auxiliaries, and also offering insights on how other elements of the language are capable of expressing epistemic modality. Compares the Theory of Government and Binding, Cognitive Grammar (chiefly Langacker's version), and truth-functional theory from the point of view of how they can account for relevant aspects of the syntax and semantics of elements expressing subjectivity.
