摘要

本文讨论了葡萄牙语中两个认识算子的语义:认识未来和情态动词。在其他语言的文献中,认知未来与情态动词(相当于)MUST具有相同的语义,这一观点并没有考虑到葡萄牙语数据。有人提出,尽管认识未来动词和认识语气动词是传达不确定性的手段,但它们的作用基础不同。认知语气动词是可能世界的量词,表达对命题的一定程度的认知承诺,而认知未来被认为是话语语境中缺乏证据的标志。葡萄牙语的其他情态动词,在其认知阅读中,也被考虑在内,提出葡萄牙语也有一个情态动词,它在最佳世界集合上存在量化。这显示了葡萄牙语语气动词的一个非常对称的画面:其中两个选择有序的语气基,另外两个选择无序的语气基;对于量化的每个领域——整个模态库或最佳世界集(模态库的子集)——都会有一个存在量词和一个通用量词。

Epistemic Future and epistemic modal verbs in Portuguese
This paper discusses the semantics of two epistemic operators in Portuguese: the epistemic Future and modal verbs. The idea sustained in the literature for other languages that the epistemic Future has the same semantics as the modal verb (equivalent to) MUST does not account for the Portuguese data. The proposal is made that, though epistemic Future and epistemic modal verbs are devices to convey uncertainty, they operate on different grounds. Epistemic modal verbs are quantifiers over possible worlds, expressing a degree of epistemic commitment towards a proposition, while the epistemic Future is argued to be a mark signaling lack of evidence at the context of utterance. The other modal verbs of Portuguese, in their epistemic reading, are also considered, the proposal being made that Portuguese has also a modal verb that existentially quantifies over the set of Best worlds. This shows a very symmetric picture of Portuguese modal verbs: two of them select an ordered modal base and two others an unordered modal base; for each domain of quantification – the entire modal base or the set of Best Worlds (a subset of the modal base) – there will be an existential and a universal quantifier.
