| Research Abstract |
This study investigated various manifestations of the modality in grammatical categories such as verbal moods and tenses, modal (semi-)auxiliaries, adverbials in French, Japanese and other languages. In particular, I showed the way in which the modality results in appearing in various language phenomena, including conditional mood, imperfective tense, tense de dicto and aspects de dicto, future tenses, modal (semi-) auxiliaries fallor, devoir, sembler etc, gerundive and present participle, expressions about stereotypes, hedges, multi-voicedness, and hearsay.
