Annotatsiya

Modality is a core function of language that allows speakers to express their perspective on a statement, indicating degrees of certainty, obligation, possibility, or permission. This article investigates modality through the lens of cognitive linguistics, a framework which posits that our linguistic structures are shaped by embodied cognition. From this perspective, abstract modal concepts are understood as being grounded in physical experiences, such as the forces, barriers, and pathways we encounter in the real world. We conduct a cross-linguistic analysis of modal expressions, including verbs like “must” and “might,” to trace how these fundamental sensory experiences are mapped onto grammatical and lexical forms. The central argument is that modality is not merely a grammatical rule but a vital cognitive tool. It acts as a crucial link between our inner mental world – our thoughts, beliefs, and judgments – and the language we use to communicate and negotiate meaning with others.
