• Resumen

  • The aim of this paper is to present some expressions of modality and evidentiality which function as cues that signal rhetorical relations (in the view of Rhetorical Structure Theory): dynamic and deontic modalities signal enablement relation; epistemic modality signals evaluation relation; evidentiality signals attribution relation.
