This book examines the role of modal expressions in various medical genres, as well as pointing out other markers of speaker attitude. Based on new computer-readable data, and combining quantitative and qualitative methods, the book argues that the use of modal expressions reflects the institutional context of medical discourse. Modal expressions are analysed with reference to hedging, reliability, and argumentation, and it is shown that their use in different genres reflects a model of medicine leading from bio-medical hypotheses through assessment to clinical applications. The book also analyses new genres of medical writing that have developed as a response to the increasing amount of medical information. Advertisements are analysed as an example of medicalization, showing how evaluation in the texts is based on medical values.

This book treats modal logic as a theory, with several subtheories, such as completeness theory, correspondence theory, duality theory and transfer theory and is intended as a course in modal logic for students who have had prior contact with modal logic and who wish to study it more deeply. It presupposes training in mathematical or logic. Very little specific knowledge is presupposed, most results which are needed are proved in this book.

Die verschiedenen Funktionen der Modalverben dürfen, können, mögen, müssen, sollen und wollen werden im Rahmen der Grammatikalisierungstheorie untersucht, wobei sowohl das synchrone System als auch seine diachrone Entwicklung berücksichtigt werden. Im Zentrum des Interesses steht die im Laufe der Sprachgeschichte des Deutschen erfolgte Grammatikalisierung der Modalverben als Faktizitätsmarker, also zum Ausdruck einer sprecherbasierten Einschätzung der Faktizität des dargestellten Sachverhalts, wie in Sie muß zuhause gewesen sein. Der synchrone Teil der Arbeit gibt eine systematische Beschreibung der verschiedenen Gebrauchsweisen der Modalverben nach ihrem jeweiligen Grammatikalisierungsgrad. Der diachrone Teil zeichnet zum einen die semantische Entwicklung der weniger grammatikalisierten Gebrauchsweisen der Modalverben seit dem Althochdeutschen nach, zum anderen entwirft er ein Phasenmodell zum Ablauf der Entstehung der grammatikalisierten Varianten. Dieses Modell wird an jedem der sechs Modalverblexeme überprüft, und es wird ein einheitlicher Grammatikalisierungsweg für die Modalverben nachgewiesen. Die Ergebnisse werden durch die Auswertung von Textkorpora aus verschiedenen diachronen Stufen des Deutschen untermauert.
