✦ Synopsis

The relationship between language and conceptualization remains a major puzzle in language research. This title investigates main types of expressions of epistemic modality in Dutch, German and English. By adopting a systematic functional orientation, the book explains a whole range of peculiarities of epistemic expression forms and offers a perspective on which cognitive systems are needed to get from the concept of epistemic modality to its linguistic expression.
