Modal words in any language serve to designate the category of modality, and in this respect, the Azerbaijani language is not an exception. In order to study deeply whether modality is a logical or grammatical category it is first necessary to determine what modality consists of. There is no text without a modal relation, and therefore the existing emotional relation of the speaker can also be attributed to the modal relation. Modality in the text is realized with specific
language materials, which is a very important aspect of speech acts. In our language, a number of units that have been
stabilized as modal words have historically been used in the form of sentences. In the philosophical sense, modality is
characterized as a category that indicates the degree of accuracy of judgment.
In oral and written speech acts, modal words, which are rich in stylistic features, manifest themselves as performing logical emotional and various lexical-grammatical-semantic tasks according to the types and functions of meaning.
Logical and grammatical modality, which are equally close to each other, are directly related to human thought,
and just as thinking is interconnected and united with language, logical and grammatical modality are related at the
same level, and it would be wrong to equate them. If logical modality consists of the differences between reality, event,
and reality that develops between judgments, in linguistics modality is the expression of the speaker's attitude to an object, event, thought through intonation, word order, modal words, introductory words, word combinations, and verb
forms, and all these issues are explained in the article.
