The aim of this paper is to present the methods of expressing deontic modality in Korean, Indonesian, English and Polish legislative texts. The research methods applied included the analysis of comparable texts and corpus linguistics methodology (Antconc software).

The purpose of this work is to compile the exponents expressing obligation, prohibition and permission in legislative texts in the languages listed above in order to find sufficient equivalents that may be used for the purpose of translation within any pair formed out of the four languages under scrutiny.
