Syntactic modality and its examples in economic discourse

Abstract

syntactic means used in economic discourse that express the author's subjective evaluation in the framework of articles from the Economist magazine. The mixed-method research approach with theoretical information collection and semantic deductive and quantitative analysis of the data collected allowed us to demonstrate the classification of syntactic means carrying the author's assessment. As a result, nine means of syntactic modality were distinguished. These results would help in the further research of economic discourse and contribute to the development of the hypothesis about its evaluative component, denying the judgment that the language of economics can be considered purely objective.
