    Discourse particle → Modality

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Discourse particles can shape the stance and expectations conveyed by an utterance. Modality concerns such dimensions as possibility and validity. The role of a particle and the grammatical marking of modality require separate analysis.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Evidentiality marks a source of information. Modality can mark possibility, necessity or the speaker’s degree of commitment. A source indication and a degree of certainty can interact and still require separate analysis.

    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Intonation can convey uncertainty, emphasis or a questioning stance. Modality helps analyse some of these meanings. The same contour can have different functions across languages and contexts.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Modality and evidentiality concern the status and source of information, respectively. A linguistic form can contribute to both, so its function must be determined in context.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A modal expression can help shape a speech act such as a request. The form contributes to how the request is made, while the action also depends on the circumstances of its use.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
