The articles deal with features particular to the pronoun systems of Finnish languages, such as logophoricity and the use of demonstratives for human referents, as well as other topics of current interest in research into the nature of pronominal reference, in particular the contextual, interactive and grammatical factors which influence the use and interpretation of pronouns.

	Modal Expressions in Finnish Modal expressions are expressions of a viewpoint and attitude. This study examines the nature and use of different modal categories. The main divisions are dynamic, deontic and apistemic modality. Within these domains of modality, special attention is given to the concepts of possibility and necessity and their different interpretations. From the resources of language, in the central position of the examination are the modal verbs. The study is both theoretical and empirical.	9789517176897 Heikki Kangasniemi 418 pages, paperback £22.50 Finnish Literature Society
