In the present study we will try to describe some evidences of the judgment of altered reality through the use of discursive modalizers, which we will describe in the framework of Functional Clinical Linguistics. Our general objective is to describe the use of communicative resources that mark this psychopathological behavior. The hypothesis of the study is that the altered reality judgment can be investigated through the use of verbal modalizers of certainty or possibility.
