Properties that have been assigned to the Subject function are grouped into four dimensions (i.e. predication, mood, voice/diathesis, and theme), and it is argued that each of these Subject dimensions can be explained on the basis of the notion of instantiation, as understood in cognitive grammar.
The cornerstone of this argument is Davidse’s cognitive-functional definition of the Subject as Instantiator. By realigning Davidse’s interpersonal characterization of the Instantiator with Halliday’s triad of interpersonal, ideational and textual metafunctions of language, I argue that the Subject/Instantiator is the primary syntagm-forming element for realizing processual meanings.

Modality and the English Modal Verb System

All verb phrases in which a modal verb occupies the initial position express the irrealis modality of the subjunctive mood. The initial modal verb also expresses one of four modalities: epistemic, deontic, dynamic, and evidential. Verb phrases that contain a multiple modal express both epistemic modality (the initial modal verb) and deontic modality (the second and subsequent modal verb[s]). Although some linguists and logicians argue for an alternative description of modality, the analysis offered by Palmer best accounts for the modality expressed by modal verbs and the Modern English verb system in general.
