By contrast to SIPs, NSIPs express a unique factuality assignment, attributed to the anchor source. Table 5 illustrates this with the lexical entries for NSIPs manage and fail. We invite the reader to verify the factuality values of the embedded event as provided by the table, given different factuality contexts of the NSIP (manage/didn't manage/may have managed to go, etc.).
