  abstract  = {Negation and modality are two important grammatical phenomena that have
	attracted recent research attention as they can contribute to
	extra-propositional meaning aspects, among with factuality, attribution, irony
	and sarcasm. These aspects go beyond analysis such as semantic role labeling,
	and modeling them is important as a step towards a higher level of language
	understanding, which is needed for practical applications such as sentiment
	analysis. In this talk, I will go beyond English, and I will discuss how
	negation and modality are expressed in other languages. I will also go beyond
	sentiment analysis and I will present some challenges that the two phenomena
	pose for machine translation (MT). In particular, I will demonstrate how
	contemporary MT systems fail on them, and I will discuss some possible
	solutions.},
