This collection presents a range of research on modality in the English language. It includes comprehensive analyses of English modal verbs in different types of genres, including Early Modern English plays and children’s literature, as well as speeches, academic and functional texts. The volume fills a niche in the study of modality in English non-literary written texts, and contributes to the current knowledge on modality and the system of modal verbs in the English language.
