In [[modal logic]], a '''modal operator''' is an [[operator]] which forms [[proposition]]s from propositions. In general, a modal operator has the "formal" property of being non-[[truth function|truth-functional]], and is "intuitively" characterised by expressing a modal attitude (such as [[necessity]], [[possibility]], [[belief]], or [[knowledge]]) about the proposition to which the operator is applied. The concrete examples in this entry relate modality to [[literary theory]].
