Abstract
The present paper deals with a complex analysis of ontological modality, which reveals its propositional character, i.e. the presence in its deep structure of a specific set of actants and basic semantic components. In the light of the like approach ontological modality is viewed as a semantic continuum, the elements of which are interrelated by semantic derivation, in particular, by means of negation and conceptual shift. From the semantic-pragmatic point of view modality can be shown as a specific “program” for interpreting the speaker’s attitude towards the situation, on the one hand, and towards the supposed attitude of the addressee, on the other.
Keywords: causation, concept, evaluative component, frame, modality, potentiality, proposition, role structure, semantic continuum, subject-predicate structure
