Focusing on the interplay between modality and argument structure, this book delves into two key questions raised by Toulmin regarding how semantic analysis of modality influences arguments. It examines the role of modality as an essential component of argumentation and investigates various linguistic modal expressions as indicators of argumentative strength. Using the Italian modal system and analyzing predictions from the business-financial press, the work highlights the contextual relationship between modality and argumentation, providing a comprehensive perspective on these concepts.
