Any DPs are ungrammatical in positive episodic sentences, but licensed in modal contexts. Why? A line of research explains the pattern by proposing that any DPs derive contradictory meanings in the former context (Chierchia, 2013). Why do any DPs not derive contradictory meanings in modal contexts, then? This short note assesses two possible answers. The first assumes that grammar still derives a contradiction in these environments, but since modals are context dependent, context shifting can save the day by weakening the derived meaning (Chierchia, 2013). The second answer (entertained for other free choice items in Chierchia 2013) is that modals prevent the derivation of a contradiction. The paper shows that the first strategy undergenerates. The second strategy still faces overgeneration worries.
