Deontic modality is a linguistic and philosophical concept that refers to the way in which language expresses concepts of necessity, obligation, permission, and prohibition. It encompasses the use of modal verbs and other linguistic forms to indicate what is permitted, required, or forbidden in a given context. In grammatical terms, deontic modality is often conveyed through modal verbs like "must," "should," "may," and "can." For example: - "You must complete your homework" expresses an obligation.
