Expression of Modality

This book covers the essentials of modaliry and offers both foundational ideas and cutting edge advances. It consists of what are essentially tutorials on modality and modal notions, covering definitions of modality, morphosyntactic form, conceptual and logical semantics, historical development, and acquisition. There are also specific chapters on modality in Zapotec and American Sign Language, which show the range of forms that modal notions can take. To enhance its tutorial function, the book closes with a comprehensive conceptual outline of all the chapters.Klein, Wolfgang is the author of 'Expression of Modality', published 2005 under ISBN 9783110184358 and ISBN 3110184354.
