elm-5818	Dieuleveut, Anouk; Noveck, Ira	Devoir, ou pouvoir, that is the question	2025	14	.pdf	application/pdf	8288	585	65	Previous acquisition research has shown that English-speaking children have particular difficulty with necessity modals: comprehension experiments show that they tend to accept must or have-to in possibil- ity scenarios (Noveck 2001, Özturk & Papafragou 2015, a.o.); production studies show that they use them less frequently than possibility modals, and when they do, their usage is not always adult-like (Dieuleveut et al. 2022). One challenge is that past studies have focused primarily on English, where necessity modals are much rarer than possibility modals in parental speech, which could suggest that the delay is simply due to less exposure.	cache/elm-5818.pdf	txt/elm-5818.txt
