Abstract:

Mood, modality and evidentiality are popular and dynamic areas in linguistics.
"Re-Assessing Modalising Expressions – Categories, co-text, and context"
focuses on the specific issue of the ways language users express permission,
obligation, volition (intention), possibility and ability, necessity and
prediction linguistically.

Using a range of evidence and corpus data collected from different sources,
the authors of this volume examine the distribution and functions of a range
of patterns involving modalising expressions as predominantly found in
standard American English, British English or Hong Kong English, but also in
Japanese. The authors are particularly interested in addressing (co-)textual
manifestations of modalising expressions as well as their distribution across
different text-types and thus filling a gap research was unable to plug in the
past. Thoughts on categorising or re-categorising modalising expressions
initiate and complement a multi-perspectival enterprise that is intended to
bring research in this area a step forward.
