COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE MODAL CATEGORY OF TEXTS OF DECLARATION OF THE SHANGHAI COOPERATION ORGANIZATION IN CHINESE AND RUSSIAN

Abstract

Modal category is a special system for expressing political ideology, will and belief in political communication. This article presents a detailed examination of the modal system of the texts of the Declaration of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (hereinafter SCO) in Chinese and Russian from 2001 to 2017 at the levels of deontic modality and epistemic modality in order to fill the gaps in the study of SCO, which focuses on political rights and expand the scope of research on the SCO theory as linguistic studies usually neglect political concepts, as well as deepen the theoretical and practical study of the political discourse.
