This paper presents the storyboard Bill vs. the weather as a cross-linguistic tool to investigate a modal-temporal interaction, targeting a possibility epistemic claim with past temporal perspective and future orientation. The target contexts in the storyboard are also potentially compatible with a past counterfactual claim, which differs minimally in having a circumstantial modal base instead of an epistemic one. The target contexts are illustrated through Javanese (Austronesian), which provides insights into how to disambiguate the two interpretations as well as into the kinds of additional markers or constructions languages may employ in the target contexts.Downloads
