  • Event Factuality – This looks much closer. How to determine factuality in language. But also how to relate the relevant facts to the penitent facts
  • Roser Sauri’s Dissertation: A Factuality Profiler for Eventualities in Text

  • Did it happen? The pragmatic complexity of veridicality assessment
    • Christopher Potts
      • Mapping the social genome
