自20世纪80年代以来,国内外学者相继开始对汉语情态展开了较为系统和全面的研究。然而,汉语情态研究目前仍存在一些问题。从研究路径上来看,从传统语法以及从历时语法化学角度对情态语义系统以及情态主要表达形式的语义与句法特征进行描写的研究较多;从认知语言学、形式语言学、功能语言学等角度对情态进行的阐释性系统研究较少。从研究内容上来看,汉语学界在情态定义和类型、情态与语气的关系、情态动词划界等方面尚未达成较统一的认识。未来汉语情态研究可以朝着以下几个方向发展：研究路径的多元化、研究内容的深化和研究方法的现代化。
Since the 1980s, researchers at home and abroad have conducted systematic and relatively comprehensive studies on the modality in Chinese. However, there are still some problems in such studies. For one thing, the existing contributions to modality in Chinese focus more on the traditional description of semantic and syntactic features and pragmatic functions of modal expressions, and less on the interpretation of modal meanings from the perspectives of cognitive linguistics, formal linguistics, or functional linguistics. For another, researchers still hold divergent views on the definition and classification of modality, on the relationship between mood and modality, and the identification of modal verbs. It is hoped that future studies on the modality in Chinese will be conducted from different perspectives, in greater depth, and with advanced research methods.
