This paper attempts to deal with the question of what the differences are between constructions with modal adverbs such as probably and constructions with predicatively used modal adjectives of the type it is probable that.. in the way they express epistemic modal qualifications. the two expression types have several distinctive behavioral properties, and these are explained in terms of three different underlying factors : the discourse functionality of the constructions, the interaction of epistemic modal qualification with evidential marking, and the performative vs. descriptive nature of the modal expression
