Abstract

The term modality can be interpreted in different ways. Generally it embraces grammatical, lexical, intonational means that express either the speaker’s attitude towards the utterance or the reference of the utterance towards the reality.

Subjective modality, i.e. the speaker’s attitude towards the utterance can be exspressed by various linguistic means- intonation, syntactic constructions, word order, repetition parentheticals, particles, interjections and by their multiple combinations. At the same time there are used various fixed assets in this combination.

The fixed assets or their combinations can be used in the similar sentences. There are no strict

grammar rules as difference of fixed assets in the combination are available. The circle of subjective

modality is quite large, and these fixed assets which are expressly coloured can not be always defined.

Keywords: Modality, subjective modality, word order, syntactic constructions.
