The Expression of Modality (Paperback, annotated edition)
Series: The Expression of Cognitive Categories (ECC)
Expected to ship within 10 - 15 working days

Human thought and action is fundamentally shaped by a small set of
cognitive categories, such as time, space, causality, or
possession. It is not surprising, therefore, that all natural
languages have developed many devices to express these categories.
Temporality, for example, is reflected in the lexical meaning of
verbs, in grammatical marking of tense and aspect, in time
adverbials, in special particles, and in the application of
discourse principles. Many of these devices have been the subject
of intensive research across languages; but as a rule, this
research focuses on particular aspects, it does not look at the
expression of such a category as a whole, which is precisely the
aim of the present series. The short volumes bring together what is
known about the expression of a particular category in human
language.
