EXPRESSIVISM CONCERNING EPISTEMIC MODALS

I develop a new argument for an expressivist account of epistemic modals. which starts from a puzzle about epistemic modals which Seth Yalcin recently presented. I reject Yalcin's own solution to the puzzle, and give a better explanation based on expressivism concerning epistemic modals. I also address two alleged problems fir expressivism: do embeddings of epistemic modals pose a serious threat to expressivism and how can expressivism account disagreements about statements containing epistemic modals?
