TL;DR: In this paper, a semantic map is used to represent synchronic and diachronic connections between modal, premodal, and postmodal meanings or uses or uses.
Abstract: Starting from Bybee, Perkins, & Pagliuca (1994) and complementing their insights with observations that often originale in the non-English literature on modality, this paper attempts to supply the grammaticalized expressions ofmodalüy with a semantic map. The t er m \"modality\" is taken t o refer t o just those (four) domains in which possibility contrasts with necessity, and \"semantic map' refers to a representation of cross-linguistically relevant synchronic and diachronic connections between modal, premodal, and postmodal meanings or uses. Special attention is given to meanings that are vague between possibility and necessity, to developments from possibility to necessity and vice versa, to postmodal meanings that can originale in either possibility or necessity, and to demodalization of non-epistemic modality.
