High Modality?! (1 Viewer)

[nufish]

What does it mean when a passage uses 'high modality'? examples?

I think (can't really remember but pretty sure) that high modality means something is persuasive and presents a strong argument.

Example: "Fact will never be fiction," is high modality. "Fact might be fiction... one day..." is low modality. Something like that. Might have used a bad example but I hope you get the idea.

Well i think "low modality" means a sense of uncertainty or something along those lines....so "high modality" should mean the opposite =P

So yeah that ties in with what zingerburger said: high modality = strong argument; certainty, etc.
