abstract = "In the field of natural language processing, the construction of ``linguistic pipelines'', which draw on insights from theoretical linguistics, stands in a complementary relationship to the prevailing paradigm of large language models. The rapid development of these pipelines has been fueled by recent advancements, including the emergence of Dependent Type Semantics (DTS) {---} a type-theoretic framework for natural language semantics. While DTS has been successfully applied to analyze complex linguistic phenomena such as anaphora and presupposition, its capability to account for modal expressions remains an underexplored area. This study aims to address this gap by proposing a framework that extends DTS with modal types. This extension broadens the scope of linguistic phenomena that DTS can account for, including an analysis of modal subordination, where anaphora interacts with modal expressions."
