This chapter takes the discussion in the preceding one a few steps further, by offering an alternative analysis embedded in, and motivated by, the wider perspective of the hierarchy of qualificational categories. Central is the concept of ‘attitudes,’ covering a distinctive group of dimensions in the hierarchy involving types of speaker assessments of a state of affairs. This includes deontic and epistemic modality, but also inferential evidentiality and boulomaic attitude. It excludes dynamic modality, however, which is considered to belong in a different group of qualificational dimensions along with time and quantificational aspect. The chapter moreover explores further the nature and properties of the group of attitudinal dimensions, with focus on the issue of their status as part of the conceptual system. It does so by zooming in on the difference between performative and descriptive uses typical of the attitudinal categories, and by exploring co-occurrence restrictions which turn out to exist between these categories.
