One of the modern linguistics topical issues is the problem of the parts of speech in the Russian publicistic texts and, in particular, the problem of the author’s modality expression. The markers of the author’s modality expression are the words of the category of state, as the semantics of them incorporate the expression of the feelings, state and emotions of the speaker as well as the reflection of the information aimed at influencing the recipient. The words of the category of state are independent parts of speech in the Russian language. They have certain semantic, morphological and syntactic features as the markers of the speech influence upon the recipient and the way of expressing the author’s modality in the publicistic texts. Studying the peculiarities of the category of state words in the Russian publicistic texts and giving the correct definition to the “state” in this respect are the main tasks of the modern Russian grammar.
