大洋洲语言是南岛语系的一个分支。这一章是对几种情态的跨语言研究：认知情态、道义情态、动态情态、渴望情态和限制情态；还有现实和不现实的情绪。语态的表达方式多种多样：动词的词缀、动词的助词以及动词（在某些情况下不是完全成熟的动词）。原始情态是一个复杂的范畴：它同时表达了认知情态和对事物可能状态的理解。虽然现实-非现实区分的有效性在一些一般类型学文献中受到质疑，但本章认为这种区分在大洋语中是有用的，尽管在语言之间存在细节上的差异。
The Oceanic languages form a subgroup within the Austronesian family. The chapter is a cross-linguistic investigation of several kinds of modality: epistemic, deontic, dynamic, desiderative, and timitive; and also of the realis and the irrealis moods. The modalities are expressed by various means: affixes on verbs, particles associated with verbs, and verbs, which in some cases are not fully-fledged verbs. The timitive modality is a complex category: it simultaneously expresses epistemic modality and apprehension about the possible state of affairs. While the validity of the realis–irrealis distinction has been questioned in some of the general typological literature, the present chapter argues that the distinction is useful in Oceanic, even though there are differences of detail among the languages.
