metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: Тhe article examines ways and means of reducing the categoricalness of the deontic
  statement. The analysis is carried out based on the corpora of national languages,
  Russian and German. The nuclear equivalent of a deontic utterance in German and
  Russian is a deontic construction consisting of the obligatory components such as a
  deontic marker/predicate; an infinitive of a semantic verb denoting an action aimed
  at changing the situation; the deontic subject, or potential performer, of a required
  action as well as various optional components. The study focuses on figuring out the
  components of the deontic construction involved in reducing the categoricalness of
  the deontic utterance. The study shows that the interconnection of deontics and epistemics
  in the deep structure allows explicating the putative mode of deontic utterances
  for speaker’s pragmatic tasks. Based on the corpus data, it systematizes the means of
  marking the epistemic modus of a deontic statement. It reveals optional components
  marking fuzziness and indicating the uncertainty of necessity, which include temporal
  markers and quantifiers as well as various evaluative indicators contributing to communicative
  cooperation and creating a positive image of the speaker. It describes the
  semantic types of the deontic subject involved in the creation of the indefiniteness
  of the statement. The study addresses the role of the deontic source explication in
  reducing categoricalness. It reveals the role of the deontic performative in hedging the
  introductory message, which due to the performative formula is marked as informationally
  significant.
