Primes

• Compositionality
  • Kratzer (2002) The Notional Category of Modality argues that modal operators (possibility, necessity) create opaque contexts where the composition function must shift semantics (de re / de dicto).

    This sourceModal operators induce opaque contexts (de re / de dicto) requiring the composition function to be modal-force/context-aware (supports D22-238). NOTE: the .md wrongly gives the venue as 'Word 2(3)' — incorrect; the work appears in the modality literature (1981 de Gruyter volume; repr. 2012 OUP), not the journal Word.

Verification

Does it exist? Not confirmed. The DOI recorded for this work did not resolve when it was last checked, so it is shown above but not linked. The citation may still be sound; the recorded identifier is not. Flagged for repair.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
