While it is natural to express the clear cases of epistemic modality impersonally, there is a choice between personal and impersonal expression when different degrees of „objectified“ (within the proposition) or root modality are meant. Unlike English, Bulgarian sometimes shows an overt lack of subject-predicate agreement, i. e. the modal verb is impersonal. The analysis of personal constructions denoting epistemic modality shows that the presence or absence of co-reference of the modal and the notional verb to the same subject is a universal means of describing the cline of modal meanings.1 aКонстантинов, Юлиан1 aКовачева, Мира  uhttp://www.scripta-bulgarica.eu/en/node/2798
