Abstract

Abstract Modality is influenced by different genres and finding the types of modality commonly found in legal texts is the goal of the present paper. Modals are very important because they involve communication about advice, about obligation or permission and they also help us to express our decisions about what we think, about what we know and how strongly we believe that our knowledge is correct. The present study deals with the uses of 'will' and 'would' in legal texts and the comparison with their Romanian counterparts in point of epistemic and deontic modalities.
