Contents:
Frontmatter -- Contents -- Acknowledgements -- Figures -- Tables -- Abbreviations -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Prior definitions of factivity. Disparate views -- 3. Representational semantics -- 4. Interpersonal semantics. Modality -- 5. Object extraposition -- 6. The diachrony of the fact that-clauses -- 7. I regret (to say). From factive to reporting construction -- 8. Conclusions -- References -- Index
Summary: This study offers a reconceptualization of the factive presupposition. It presents a cognitive-functional account based on three central features: the event structure of semantic classes of matrix predicates, the sources of modal stances in the complement clause, and the coercive potential of predicate-complement combinations. In this way the study complements the dominant formal pragmatic and formal syntactic theories on factivity.
