This paper introduces a semantic framework in which the meaning of a sentence embodies both its informative and its attentive content. This framework allows for an improved implementation of the analysis of might proposed in Ciardelli, Groenendijk, and Roelofsen (2009), which in turn builds on an idea from Groenendijk, Stokhof, and Veltman (1996). The paper is dedicated to Jeroen Groenendijk, Martin Stokhof, and Frank Veltman, on the occasion of their upcoming retirement, with deepest respect and gratitude.
