Abstract:

This book is a cross-linguistic and interdisciplinary exploration of modality
within systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Drawing upon the broad SFL
notion of modality that refers to the intermediate degrees between the
positive and negative poles, the individual papers probe into the modality
systems in English and Japanese. The papers cover issues such as the
conceptual nature of modality in both languages, the characterization of
modulation in Japanese, the trans-grammatical aspects of modality in relation
to mood and grammatical metaphor in both languages, and the modality uses and
pragmatic impairment by individuals with a developmental disorder from a
neurocognitive perspective.

The book demonstrates a functional account of Japanese within an SFL model of
language with a fresh perspective to Japanese linguistics. It also refers to
cross-linguistic issues concerning how the principles and theories of SFL
serve to empirically elaborate descriptions of individual languages, which
will lead to the enrichment of the theory and practice of linguistics and
beyond.
