International audienceIn this paper, we propose a new analysis of epistemic statements (X croire / savoir / s'imaginer que p) in the framework of the Modular Theory of Modalities (Gosselin 2010). First, we criticize the use, in the field of linguistic semantics, of some principles of epistemic logic (as the principle of objectivity of knowledge). Then, we argue in favor of an enunciative approach of factivity, which is clearly distinguished both from the belief's degree and from factuality. In this framework, we deal with classical problems of factivity in reported speech and of projection of presuppositions. Finally, we show that this semantic analysis of modality can be taken as a base for a pragmatic approach of modalization in discourse...
