摘要

在本文中，我们采用了一种实验范式，利用推理心理学的见解来研究某些模态是否会产生并引起人们对替代方案的关注。这篇文章扩展并建立在Mascarenhas和Picat（2019）的方法和发现的基础上。基于实验结果，他们认为英语认知语气可能会提出替代方案。我们将同样的方法应用于英语情态，以测试关于替代语在道义情态中的参与的不同假设。我们发现我们测试的两个模态之间有共同点也有差异。我们讨论了这些模态的现有语义分析的理论后果，并认为推理任务可以作为一种诊断工具，发现哪些自然语言表达涉及替代方案。

Alternatives and attention in language and reasoning: A reply to Mascarenhas & Picat 2019

In this paper, we employ an experimental paradigm using insights from the psychology of reasoning to investigate the question whether certain modals generate and draw attention to alternatives. The article extends and builds on the methodology and findings of Mascarenhas & Picat (2019). Based on experimental results, they argue that the English epistemic modal might raises alternatives. We apply the same methodology to the English modal allowed to to test different hypotheses regarding the involvement of alternatives in deontic modality. We find commonalities and differences be-tween the two modals we tested. We discuss theoretical consequences for existing semantic analyses of these modals, and argue that reasoning tasks can serve as a diagnostic tool to discover which natural language expressions involve alternatives.

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
