Produktbeschreibung
Epistemic modality is one of the three kinds of modality, which expresses a judgment about the truth of a proposition (whether it is possible, probable or necessarily true). The term epistemic was borrowed from Greek and means knowledge, understanding . This study may be helpful both for students who study English and French as foreign languages (to apply the grammatically correct ways of expressing epistemic modality modality of judgment) and researches that use scientific vocabulary for writing scientific papers (they will be probably interested in the subchapter describing impersonal constructions used in scientific prose mostly).
