      Thirteen academics from Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden contribute 11 chapters reflecting three main perspectives on modality: a topdown conceptual clarification of modal categories and modal functions, a bottom-up view tracing the path from linguistic form to utterance functions, and a lateral view examining the functional domain of modality across language types. Topics addressed include the structure of modal subcategories, subjective vs. objective modality, force dynamics, evidentiality, Spanish and English modal auxiliaries, modal uses of Italian tenses, linearization patterns in German verb chains, determinant TAM categories, modal polyfunctionality across languages and rapport management in discourse. For scholars and students of linguistics. Distributed in the . by the David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
