This study analyses the semantics of English deontic adjectives like essential and appropriate, and uses this to refine traditional definitions of deontic modality, which are mainly based on the study of modal verbs. In a first step, it is shown that the set of meanings associated with deontic adjectives is quite different from the set of meanings identified in the literature on modal verbs. Adjectives lack the directive meanings of obligation or permission, which are traditionally regarded as the core deontic categories, and they have semantic extensions towards non-modal meanings in the evaluative domain. In a second step, the analysis of adjectives is used to propose an alternative definition of deontic modality, which covers both the meanings of verbs and adjectives, and which can deal with the different extensions towards modal and non-modal categories. This is integrated into a conceptual map, which works both in diachronydefining pathways of change -and in synchrony -accommodating refinements within each set of meanings.

“…In the diachronic literature on modal categories, much attention has been devoted to verbal forms, especially to modal auxiliaries (e.g., Goossens 1983Goossens , 1999Coates 1983;Plank 1984;Sweetser 1990: 49-75;Bybee et al 1994;Hansen 1998Hansen , 2004Van der Auwera and Plungian 1998;Diewald 1999;Traugott and Dasher 2002: Ch. 3).…”

This paper consists of three parts. In the first part I will briefly characterize the history of the German modal with regard to its semantic development. The second part deals with the borrowing processes in the Slavonic world, especially with the time of borrowing and the semantics of the modal in the modern languages. Finally I offer an explanation based on a cross-linguistic definition of modal auxiliaries and the diachronic analysis of the means of expression for necessity in the Slavonic languages.
