Abstract:

Despite the intensive research carried out in recent years, modality
remains an intriguing and challenging issue in linguistics. This book
investigates modality from a syntactic viewpoint and with a bottom-up
approach. A strong focus of the book is the interaction between the
different linguistic tools that build modality (moods, modal verbs,
modal adverbs, etc.), taking both the role of syntactic structure and
the compositionality of modal meanings into account. The volume
comprises corpus-based studies devoted to several syntactic aspects of
modality in Ancient Greek, within different theoretical frameworks.
The chapters shed new light on different modal categories (e.g.
epistemicity, possibility, counterfactuality, evidentiality,
subjectivity) and show how these modal meanings arise from the
combination of different linguistic devices in specific syntactic
contexts (e.g. combinations of modal elements, types of main and
dependent clauses, types of illocutionary acts, etc.). By approaching
modality from a different perspective and providing an up-to-date
discussion of several aspects of modality, the book makes a
significant contribution to current debates.
