COGNITIVE APPROACH TO THE STUDY OF SEMANTIC MOTIVATION OF ENGLISH TERMS OF EXACT AND NATURAL SCIENCES

Thus, the boundaries of the term “modality” have lost their certainty. Its interpretation in modern linguistics is very broad. The scope of this concept and its coverage of linguistic phenomena do not coincide in the concepts of different authors. The analysis shows that there is still no unambiguous opinion on the modality issue in modern linguistics. The versatility of this category allows scholars to describe it differently and conduct research in several directions. The diversity of evaluation classifications and, due to this diversity, attributing a large number of values to the axiology sphere, allows considering a sufficiently large layer of statements containing different types of evaluations.
