| Abstract: | This paper addresses the problem of culture-sensitive interpersonal meanings in academic
written discourse by looking into epistemic modality markers in one academic genre, the
research article. More specifically, it discusses the meaning and function of the
high-value modal auxiliary MUST and its Polish modal lexical equivalent MUSIEC in two
(English and Polish) corpora of research articles, 200 papers each, with a view to identifying
possible differences in the way the psychological state of certainty is coded in these two
languages. |
