Summary
The last words about the field of modality/the attitudes, the qualificational system and its embedding in a cognitive grammar, and the cognitive-functional approach in the analysis of language, have not been spoken yet. Hopefully, this book will offer sufficient food for thought and will be a source for fruitful further discussion on all these matters.
