520    This book provides a formal analysis of both main and 
       embedded modality in the modern Greek language. By 
       reassessing the main arguments of the classical semantic 
       and syntactic literature related to modality, this study 
       offers a new account of its interpretation in modern Greek
       in terms of non-veridicality and non-monotonic principles.
       It is argued that the interpretation of modality in modern
       Greek depends on semantic and discourse components which 
       are regulated by contextual information, evidentiality, 
       causation, and inference. The analysis offered implies a 
       greater significance of modality,
