Abstract
Modality has been a topic of linguistic study since ancient times. This article explores the theories of early linguists on the modality category, while also addressing its various types, features, and meanings. In modern linguistics, the modality category has expanded to include cognitive and cultural functions, which are central to this study. The research aims to clarify the evolution of these functions, addressing a gap in understanding their broader implications in language. Using a comparative analysis of ancient and modern linguistic theories, the results highlight the significant role of modality in shaping both cognition and culture. These findings have implications for further studies in semantics and pragmatics.
