This article analyses the concept of modality presented by Palmer (1986). Over the years since its publication it has become a universal instrument for describing modality across different languages. The basic contrast between epistemic and deontic modality is nowadays generally accepted. This article focuses primarily on modality in Spanish although it analyses this field in other languages as well (Italian, Romanian and English). By contrasting these four languages the article attempts to answer the question whether a universal terminology can be proved sufficient for the exhaustive description of the modal system of one particular language. The results of the analysis lead to the conclusion that a uniform approach to modality is not ideal because it does not take into consideration specific aspects of a concrete language and its particular way of expressing modality.

The focus of the paper is to offer a different perspective for the study of Spanish potentiality (or the epistemic modality). It presents a number line that is used to illustrate the relations that can be found between reality and potentiality, and a methodology that makes it possible to place utterances that express potentiality on this line. Special attention is paid to the question of mood selection and also to the lexical expressions of this type of modality. The paper claims that the influence the use of subjunctive or indicative has on the modality of an utterance differs according to the character of the lexical expression of potentiality that precedes it.
