                Abstract: 
                An original model of natural language alerts production is proposed. The alerts are produced by information filtering system and stated in a quasi-natural language, both potentially written and vocalized. The alerts are chosen with respect to a certain collection of uncertain decision rules, thus they inherit various levels of epistemic uncertainty. The quasi-natural language statements include linguistic operators of epistemic modality, as their necessary parts. The proposed model implements in a technical context an adequate cognitive semantics captured by an original theory of epistemic modality grounding defined elsewhere.
