Abstract:
Inspired by Frank Palmer's work, this book addresses a set of specific
topics pertaining to the description of modality in English and places them
in a broader context. A number of more general theoretical and typological
matters are also raised, which bear upon the theory of syntax, semantics
and pragmatics and their interfaces. The methodology adopted is mostly
functional-typological, though some reference is made to various
theoretical frameworks, ranging from cognitive linguistics to parametric
variation. Modal meanings are seen to extend beyond particular lexical and
grammatical exponents, through sentential semantics and into actual
contexts of use. At the same time, the study of modality seems to challenge
commonly held views on the relationship between different levels of
linguistic analysis. Other languages discussed include Brazilian
Portuguese, Classical and Modern Greek and Spanish.
