The Oxford Handbook of Modality and Mood

Jan Nuyts is a Professor in the Linguistics Department at the University of Antwerp, having previously held positions at the universities of Salzburg, Amsterdam, Berkeley, and Heidelberg, and at the Max-Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen. His main research area is cognitive-functional semantics. His current focus of attention concerns the cognitive and functional structure of time-aspect-modality or qualificational categories - and the modal categories in particular - and their linguistic expressions, synchronically and diachronically, and what one can learn from them.

Johan van der Auwera is Professor of General and English Linguistics at the University of Antwerp, and editor-in-chief of the journal Linguistics. As a student and postdoctoral researcher he spent time at the universities of Antwerp, Berkeley, Stockholm, Hanover, and Nijmegen, alongside visiting appointments in Paris, Princeton, Gothenburg, Hong Kong, Kyoto, and Bangkok. His current research focuses on grammatical semantics and typology (including areal typology and dialectology), with special reference to mood, modality, negation, indefinites, and impersonals.
