==Description==

In [[semiotics]], a '''modality''' is a particular way in which the [[information]] is to be encoded for presentation to [[humans]], i.e. to the type of sign  and to the [[status]] of [[reality]] ascribed to or claimed by a sign, [[text]] or [[genre]]. It is more closely [[associated]] with the [[semiotics]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Sanders_Peirce Charles Peirce] (1839-1914) than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_de_Saussure Saussure] (1857-1913) because [[meaning]] is conceived as an [[effect]] of a set of signs. In the Peircean model, a reference is made to an object when the sign (or representamen) is [[interpreted]] recursively by another sign (which becomes its interpretant), a conception of [[meaning]] that does in fact imply a [[classification]] of sign [[types]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modality_%28semiotics%29]
