自1986年帕尔默的《语气与情态》第一版问世以来，人们对情态这一主题以及整个语法类型学产生了相当大的兴趣。情态与语气(虚拟语气等)有关。以及与情态标记，如英语情态动词(可以，可能，必须等)。并被视为世界上大多数语言中的一个单一语法范畴。在他对这一范畴的研究中，帕尔默引用了大量来自各种语言的例子。他详细地讨论了一些主要是欧洲语言中熟悉的特征，也研究了不太熟悉的特征，包括‘证据’系统和Realis/Irealis的对比，这两者都在不相关的语言中找到。
Since the publication of F. R. Palmer's first edition of Mood and Modality in 1986, when the topic of 'modality' was fairly unfamiliar, there has been considerable interest in the subject as well as in grammatical typology in general. Modality is concerned with mood (subjunctive etc.) and with modal markers such as English modal verbs (can, may, must etc.) and is treated as a single grammatical category found in most of the languages of the world. In his investigation of this category, Palmer draws on a wealth of examples from a wide variety of languages. He discusses in detail familiar features in a number of mainly European languages, and also looks at less familiar features including 'evidential' systems and the contrast of realis/irrealis, both to be found in unrelated languages.
