  abstract: Within formal semantics, research on the expression of modality in natural language has traditionally focused on verbs. 'Epistemic Indefinites' brings together novel work on the semantics and pragmatics of some nominal expressions that also convey modality. The book focuses on indefinites that can convey ignorance on the part of the speaker with respect to which individual satisfies the existential claim that they make.
