Up till now, prevailing contrastive studies on modality between Korean and Chinese have been limited to comparing the grammatical collocations and the modal auxiliary verbs. However, modality is proved to be marked in various ways in many languages. Therefor this paper is based on a contrastive study of modal expressions in Korean and Chinese from a typological perspective, considering that Korean is a agglutinating and Chinese is isolating morphologically and their syntactic structures will also be affected by their typological features. The author collected general and specific characteristics of modal expressions in Korean and Chinese, and aimed to establish a complete modal system for contrastive studies and the corresponding typological reasons.
