More about the book
The book provides a thorough examination of modality in Modern Chinese, focusing on its types, subtypes, and their realizations within clauses. It delves into modalization, which assesses proposition probability, and modulation, which evaluates obligation, inclination, and ability. The study highlights the significance of modality as an interpersonal clause system, distinguishing between subjective and objective modalities, as well as explicit and implicit realizations. Ultimately, it analyzes how these modalities function within the textual structure of clauses and clause complexes.
