It consists of what are essentially tutorials on modality and modal notions, covering definitions of modality, morphosyntactic form, conceptual and logical semantics, historical development, and acquisition.

To enhance its tutorial function, the book closes with a comprehensive conceptual outline of all the chapters.Klein, Wolfgang is the author of 'Expression of Modality', published 2005 under ISBN 9783110184358 and ISBN 3110184354.
