Some authors have suggested that, contrary to what is usually thought, ‘actually’ and similar expressions (‘in fact’, ‘in reality’, etc.) cannot effect a return to the actual world when used in a context generated by a different modal operator, and so are quite unlike the actuality operator of modal logic. I argue that they can induce such a return. The argument involves comparing them with other devices that can play a similar role, such as scope and mood, and examining the effect of ‘actually’ and the like in a range of different sentences.

再次“实际上”

一些作者认为，与通常认为的相反，“实际上”和类似的表达方式（“事实上”、“在现实中”等）在由不同的人生成的上下文中使用时不会影响回到现实世界。模态运算符，因此与模态逻辑的现实性运算符完全不同。我认为他们可以诱导这样的回报。争论涉及将它们与可以发挥类似作用的其他设备（例如范围和情绪）进行比较，并检查“实际上”等在一系列不同句子中的效果。
