Abstract
This paper is devoted to the study of modal verbs in the Russian language in terms of the typology of their modal meaning. The purpose of this study is to systematize and analyze the lexical units studied from the point of view of highlighting the shade meaning expressed in a given linguistic situation. The objective of this study is to develop a new classification model of modal verbs that meets the realities of modern Russian language. The author’s model can be used in teaching Russian as a native language and Russian as a foreign language. We develop the classification of studied lexical units and analyze in detail the types of modal meanings. The given system reflects the understanding of modality as a semantic field. The developed model clearly illustrates the aspectual composition of modal verbs in the Russian language. We attempt to systematize and present the structural analysis of verb lexemes in terms of their modal meaning. We conclude that the studied lexical units represent a broad class of words, which may include both strongly grammaticalized words, such as can and want, expressing only modal meanings, and verb lexemes having dual nature.
