Abstract

The functional-semantic category of modality's transfer properties are examined in this article in relation to language learning from English to other languages. This study aims to explore the deontic element in English-American narratives. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to compare the linguistic strategies employed in English to express deontic modality. The common modal structures are listed, examples of their use in the English language are provided, and the most universal language components that contribute to the formation of the modality of deontics are identified in the study's framework. This work is novel because it approaches the concept of deontic modality from a broader perspective and views it as a category that combines various linguistic tools, such as morphological, lexical, grammatical, and semantic ones, all within the context of two linguistic realities at once.
