Abstract
This article uses the concept of the subjective to analyse the subjectification of the modal particle ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"leââ"šÂ¬Ã‚Â. It also uses grammatical theory, cognitive grammar and mental space theory to explain this phenomenon. The subjectivity usage of the particle ââ"šÂ¬Ã…"leââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ focuses on three aspects: judgement, ideas and an understanding of the new formation of the speaker.
