Abstract: | A contextualist account of modal assertions is sketched that makes their truth sensitive to the presuppositions of the conversation.
Support for the account is mustered by considering its application to the context-sensitivity of assertions of subjunctive
conditional sentences, explanation sentences, and knowledge sentences. |
