Abstract
The article is deals with the problems of studying modal adverbs as the main means of expressing subjective modality in the Persian language. Particular attention is paid to determining the place of this group of words in the category of modality and to clarifying of its part-language status, the questions of the semantic of the category are considered as well. The status of modal words as a special category of adverbs, which have their formal categorical sign, and, depending on the lexical meaning of the word, are realized in modal alosemas is agued. There are three approaches to lexical devices functioning as markers of modality – they are studied as modal words, modal adverbs or modal adjuncts. Modal words are distinguished by Russian linguists as a separate part of speech. Modal words are morphologically unchangeable words that function as parenthesis and express the correlation between the content of an utterance with the real-world situation as seen by the speaker. Therefore, modal wordsare treated as a lexical means of the category of modality. Western linguists pointed out specific characteristics of some adverbs and of their syntactic functions, which led them to define these units as sentence modifying adverbs or modal adverbs. Sometimes the term “modal adjuncts” is used. They are the second system of the grammar dedicated to the expression of modality. They are usually realized by adverbs, but may also be realized by prepositional phrases. Irrespective of how these expres- sions are labeled the projected modal meaning derives from their lexical meaning. Modal words express the speaker’s attitude to what his utterance denotes. The speaker’s judgment may be of different kinds, that is, the speaker may express various modal meanings. There is no establishedsemantic classificationof modal adverbs, but scholars usually mention two following semantic classes: 1) words evaluating the content of an utterance as a fact, and 2) words evaluating the content of an utterance as something possible, presupposed or impossible.Modal words within these two classes undergo a further subdivision.
