“…4 d. ⟦ qad ⟧ acts as an illocutionary operator that raises the reliability of the truth of the presented proposition: it is a speech act operator that applies to truth conditional propositions to yield an actional meaning ( Stenius 1967, Krifka 2014). 23 Supporting evidence for the illocutionary nature of QAD comes from the fact that it cannot be embedded under other scope-bearing operators such as temporal, negative, interrogative and conditional (Trumpp 1881, Worrell 1908, Rockendorf 1921Kinberg, 2001 as shown in (33-37).…”

The behavior of modal QAD in Standard Arabic presents a twofold puzzle: first, QAD has an inherent epistemic-denoting conversational background with its lexically-encoded quantificational force being controlled by the temporal-aspectual properties of QAD's prejacent. Second, universal QAD triggers an actuality entailment by default. We resolve this puzzle by proposing a compositional analysis of modal QAD that derives QAD's lexically-encoded duality of force and accounts for universal QAD's automatic implicativity. Keywords: Epistemic-Denoting, Lexically-Encoded Quantificational Force, Actuality Entailment.
