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 UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110669695 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110669695 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110669695/original ER -
