Abstract:
The article deals with the functioning of the category of modality from
the point of view of interdisciplinary approach based on the data presented in philosophy,
logic, traditional and contemporary linguistics. The analysis combines the approaches
of modern poetics and stylistics. The investigation of modality as a characteristic
of the utterance is an important part of philosophy and logic. Modality covers not only
cognitive existence of the human being, but also relations that exist in the objective
world. As a functional-semantic category, modality includes axiological means which
characterize relation of the utterance to reality, thus reflecting objective knowledge,
and means which reflect the speaker’s attitude to the utterance and are subjective by
nature. Multidimensional character of the category of modality is represented by different
linguistic means. Discursive modality is based on the categories of poetics such as the
Voice, Point of View which were extensively used in the works of F.M. Dostoyevsky.
