The book "Truth and Veridicality in Grammar and Thought" explores the interaction between truth and veridicality in the grammatical phenomena of mood choice, combining formal linguistic semantics, syntactic theory, modal logic, and philosophy of language. It offers a unified perspective of modals and propositional attitudes and covers mood, modality, and attitude verbs in Greek and Romance languages.

The relationship between language and truth is a complex and multifaceted issue that has been the subject of much debate and investigation throughout history. While some argue that language can directly access what is true, others contend that the truth judgment is influenced by the subjective, perhaps even solipsistic, constructs of reality built by the speakers of that language. This construct is known as veridicality, and in this book, Anastasia Giannakidou and Alda Mari deftly address the interaction between truth and veridicality in the grammatical phenomena of mood choice: the indicative and subjunctive choice in the complements of modal expressions and propositional attitude verbs.
Combining several strands of analysis, including formal linguistic semantics, syntactic theory, modal logic, and philosophy of language, Giannakidou and Mari develop a theory that not only enriches the analysis of linguistic modality but also offers a unified perspective of modals and propositional attitudes. Their synthesis covers mood, modality, and attitude verbs in Greek and Romance languages, while also offering broader applications for languages lacking systematic mood distinction, such as English.
Truth and Veridicality in Grammar and Thought promises to shape longstanding conversations in formal semantics, pragmatics, and philosophy of language, among other areas of linguistics. The book provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between language and truth, and will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the field.
