The foundation : speaker and hearer deixis, shifter, and double displacement -- pt. 2. Instances of deixis and origo in sundry languages. 330 $aModality is the way a speaker modifies her declaratives and other speech acts to optimally assess the common ground of knowledge and belief of the addressee with the aim to optimally achieve understanding and an assessment of relevant information exchange. In languages such as German (and other Germanic languages outside of English), this may happen in covert terms. Main categories used for this purpose are modal adverbials ("modal particles") and modal verbs. Epistemic uses of modal verbs (like German sollen) cover evidential (reportative) information simultaneously providing the source of the information. Methodologically, description and explanation rest on Karl Bühler's concept of Origo as well as Roman Jakobson's concept of shifter. Typologically, East Asian languages such as Japanese pursue these semasiological fundaments far more closely than the European languages. In particular, Japanese has to mark the source of a statement in the declarative mode such that the reliability may be assessed by the hearer. The contributions in this collection provide insight into these modal techniques. 410 0$aTrends in linguistics.$pStudies and monographs ;$v243. 606 $aModality (Linguistics) 606 $aCognitive grammar 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAspect 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xMood 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aTypology (Linguistics) 610 $aModality. 610 $aSemantics. 610 $aSyntax. 610 $aTypology. 615 0$aModality (Linguistics) 615 0$aCognitive grammar. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xAspect. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xMood. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xTense. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aTypology (Linguistics) 676 $a415/.6 686 $aET 660$2rvk 701 $aAbraham$b Werner$0158164 701 $aLeiss$b Elisabeth$0322842 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790492203321 996 $aModality and theory of mind elements across languages$93720640 997 $aUNINA
