Abstract

[In the preceding chapter, the system of types of modality was established, and realizations by individual modal verbs and modal adverbs were explored. However, modality in Chinese is not only realized by such modal items. This chapter will discuss the systems of ORIENTATIONS that characterize the realization of modalization and modulation. As for modalization, there are three basic orientations of probability: ‘explicit subjective’, ‘explicit objective’ and ‘implicit subjective’. In terms of modulation, there are two basic orientations of obligation: ‘explicit subjective’ and ‘implicit subjective’.]
