• The unbearable lightness of GOing: The projection parameter as a pure parameter governing the distribution of elliptic motion verbs in Germanic (2002, background): “See also Abraham (2001) and Drubig (2001) for more discussion.”
• On the event relativity of modal auxiliaries (2010, background): “The general trend in resolving it has been to essentially reject a unified account: Drubig (2001), for instance, proposes that epistemics are evidentials, rather than modals, to explain why they take widest scope.”
• Embedding epistemic modals in English: A corpus-based study (2012, background): “While might appears in antecedents of conditionals, it is exceedingly rare, as shown in Table 1: we found .02% of all might tokens here, in contrast to 1.95% of all can tokens.”
