DESCRIPTION:It is commonly assumed that assertions
  can be weakened or strengthened. In this talk I w
 ill identify two linguistic strategies that lead t
 o the impression of changing assertoric strength a
 nd that are arguably embodied in the structure of 
 assertive clauses. I will argue for a specific syn
 tactic implementation, postulating a “Commitment P
 hrase” that takes a “Judgement Phrase” as a comple
 ment, which can house different linguistic modifie
 rs or head features. I will show that a semantic i
 nterpretation format in which judgement and commit
 ment operators are just treated as non-at-issue me
 anings on a separate level of semantic interpretat
 ion is not sufficient and argue for a theory in wh
 ich those operators are conceived as means to put 
 the core proposition into the common ground.
