The History of Modality and Mood
View through CrossRef
This chapter traces the current understanding of mood (or mode) and modality back in time, in the Western tradition, giving pride of place to F. R. Palmer, G. H. von Wright, I. Kant, Priscian, Quintilian, Dionysius Thrax, Apollonius Dyscolus, and Protagoras. It sketches how there were and still are at least four different notions of mood, the domain of which was progressively taken over by a notion of modality. It also sketches the tradi¬tion of some key elements in the understanding of modality, viz. necessity and possibil¬ity, which were studied from Greek antiquity onward long before they were subsumed under the heading of modality.
