This volume sets out to provide a semantics for the
"future-directed opining verbs", a novel class whose members are
used to describe subjects' externally attested opinions toward
future possibilities. Including verbs like recommend, promise, and
permit, the class can be situated within a broader range of opinion
verbs, including the well-known propositional attitudes, and key to
the investigation here are differences among these groups along the
lines of available event types, interaction with the common ground,
and restrictions on subjects and objects. Other important semantic
topics implicated in the discussion are dispositions, free choice
disjunction, and Neg-raising/embedded NPI licensing, and the host
of new data associated with the future-directed opining verbs
prompts surveys of the expanded scope of these phenomena, and
corresponding re-evaluation of existing theories. Collectively, the
contributions of this work deepen our understanding of predicates
that describe opinion and disposition, and how these interact with
fundamental logical operations like negation and disjunction,
highlighting the crucial role of contextual factors like relevance
for these processes.
