Thinking Modally: English and Contrastive Studies on Modality

This volume brings together a selection of the papers presented at the 4th International Conference on Modality in English, held in Madrid on 9-11 September 2010. The book is divided into two parts, with the first encompassing contributions focusing on the notions of modality, evidentiality and temporality, and the second those that explore modality and its connection with stance and evaluation in specific genres and discourse domains.
