Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

This handbook offers an in depth and comprehensive state of the art survey of
the linguistic domains of modality and mood. An international team of experts
in the field examine the full range of methodological and theoretical
approaches to the many facets of the phenomena involved. Following an opening
section that provides an introduction and historical background to the topic,
the volume is divided into five parts. Parts 1 and 2 present the basic
linguistic facts about the systems of modality and mood in the languages of
the world, covering the semantics and the expression of different subtypes of
modality and mood respectively. The authors also examine the interaction of
modality and mood, mutually and with other semantic categories such as aspect,
time, negation, and evidentiality. In Part 3, authors discuss the features of
the modality and mood systems in five typologically different language groups,
while chapters in Part 4 deal with wider perspectives on modality and mood:
diachrony, areality, first language acquisition, and sign language. Finally,
Part 5 looks at how modality and mood are handled in different theoretical
approaches: formal syntax, functional linguistics, cognitive linguistics and
construction grammar, and formal semantics.
