情态研究长期以来一直是语义学家、语法学家和哲学家感兴趣的主要焦点。尽管仍然没有统一的定义（参见Traugott 1989：32），道义情态的本质传统上是根据意愿、许可和义务等概念来讨论的（Jespersen 1924，Lyons 1977，Palmer 1986，Traugott 1989）。根据 Lyons (1977: 823) 的说法，“道义这个术语现在被哲学家广泛使用来指代模态逻辑的一个特定分支或扩展：义务和许可的逻辑。”这一传统中对道义情态的分析是基于对研究者构建的单个句子的检查，而不是基于话语中道义情态的实际使用。因此，对“逻辑”等概念的适当解释和* 我们衷心感谢 UCSB 和 UCLA 学术参议院研究补助金以及 UCLA 日本研究中心笹川教员研究补助金的支持。我们还要感谢我们的专门研究助理 Jessica Jung 和 Ryoko Suzuki 在这个项目上所做的宝贵工作，以及 Hyo Sang Lee 提出的许多有用的意见和建议。我们还要感谢 Akio Kamio、Sandra Thompson 和 Patricia Mayes 的帮助，他们耐心地为我们提供了本文早期草稿的建议。
The study of modality has long been a major focus of interest for semanticists, grammarians and philosophers. Although there is still no unified definition (cf. Traugott 1989: 32), the nature of deontic modality has traditionally been discussed in terms of such notions as will, permission and obligation (Jespersen 1924, Lyons 1977, Palmer 1986, Traugott 1989). According to Lyons (1977: 823)," the term deontic is now quite widely used by philoso phers to refer to a particular branch or extension of modal logic: the logic of obligation and permission." Analysis of deontic modality in this tradition has been based on examination of individual sentences, constructed by the re searcher, rather than upon actual uses of deontic modality in discourse. Consequently, the appropriate interpretation of notions such as" logic" and* We gratefully acknowledge the support of UCSB and UCLA Academic Senate Research Grants and a Sasakawa Faculty Research Grant from the UCLA Center for Japanese Studies.
