This book presents a systematic and relatively comprehensive
account of the system of MODALITY in Modern Chinese and the
functions that realizations of modality serve in the clause and
clause complex. Grounded in SFL, the research begins by introducing
the system of types of modality in Modern Chinese, investigating
the subtypes of modality and their realizations. The study then
explores the systems of Orientations that characterize the
realization of modalization and modulation in Chinese. After
establishing the complete system of modality in Modern Chinese, the
research finally examines the functions that realizations of
modality serve in the textual structure of the clause and in the
clause complex. The study finds that the system of MODALITY is an
important interpersonal clause system at the lexicogrammatical
stratum of Chinese. There are two distinct types of modality in
Chinese: modalization and modulation. Modalization concerns the
assessment of probability of the proposition; modulation is
concerned with the assessment of the proposal in terms of
obligation, inclination, and ability. The systems of ORIENTATIONS
make a basic distinction between subjective and objective modality,
and between the explicit and implicit realizations. The research
also reveals that in the thematic structure of the clause,
realizations of modality can serve as the interpersonal Theme in
the clause, in the information structure of the clause,
realizations of modality can function as the unmarked information
focus of the clause or introduce the marked information focus, and
in the clause complex, realizations of modality can encode modal
meanings and simultaneously construct clauses into a clause
complex.
