Abstract
The accuracy and certainty of propositions in informative texts can be determined by questioning the use of modality in real context. Describing the choice of modality and the coding of reality in political discourse texts is important with regard to determining the presentational strategies in Turkish political discourse texts. This study aims to question the general characteristics of political discourse in Turkey and how reality is presented in it. Being a follow-up to Aksu (2008), which analyses the presentation of reality in political discourse, this study describes how reality presentation works in texts that have political discourse characteristics based on the modality categorisations in Palmer (2001), and evaluates the descriptions according to the Theory of Critical Discourse Analysis.
