an evaluative event in which a negative evaluative judgment about a proposition expressed by the complement of the commentative event is made, and there is a neutral epistemic stance by the speaker toward the proposition; and the predicate expressing this event. Example: in Jill fears that Donald has won the election, the commentative predicate fears expresses Jill's evaluation of Donald's winning the election, and also presupposes that the speaker does not know whether Donald has won the election.
