Description
Summary:[...]the main strength of this volume - namely, the fact that it presents the 'state of the art' research on the issue of modality from a number of different points of view and theoretical frameworks - could also be seen as its weakness, because this volume is more a survey of various contemporary approaches to this issue rather than an in-depth and sophisticated analysis of modality in a precise framework.
