Abstract
This paper studies the relation between subjectivity (understood as orientation to the speaker) and modal typology (dinamic, deontic, epistemic) The revision of the two most significant approaches to the topic provides a basis on which to build a procedure capable of stating the precise extensional limits of modal subjectivity and its distribution in relation to the different modal types.
