The non-specificity or lack of presupposition of existence of a NP is attributed generally to the scope of some modality of the NP. The different degrees of strength of the modalities in relation to implications that they involve bring to mind the possibility of different degrees of non-specificity in the NPs under its scope. The semantic differences between the non-specific interpretation of the NPs caused either by [NEGATION] or by [FUTURE] and their different behaviour throughout the discourse confirm the existence of two types of nonspecificity.
