The theory of deontic modality within linguistics offers an account of the meaning of normative terms including 'ought'. How far should this account influence the philosophy of normativity? Not far, I shall argue. Indeed, I shall also argue that the linguists' theory of deontic modality needs some correction from the philosophy of normativity.
