ON THE QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR’S MODALITY OF THE COMMUNICATIVE PROCESS

Abstract

The article highlights an author’s modality of the communicative process, the differentiation of these categories in relation to the communication process. The researcher considers the internal connection of language units in a literary text, various and individual forms of an author’s modality; a wide list of all those components of the text that form and reveal the “image of the author”, the author’s modality. The article analyzes categories of objective and subjective modality, as well as taxite modality, as one of the varieties of subjective-evaluative – phrasal modality. The problematic issue of the mandatory – optional category of subjective modality synthesized into the author’s modality is presented.
