徐中意著的《政治話語的情態與言據性研究（英文版）》側重於研究情態與言據性標記詞如何在政治話語中揭露說話人隱含的話語意圖、態度立場、意識形態和政治家如何通過合法化自身的言行或非法化敵對方的言行說服或操縱聽眾。本書提出了情態與言據性的新分類，構建了情態與言據性的認知一功能分析框架，以三位著名的國家領導人（托尼·布萊爾、巴拉克·奧巴馬、馬哈茂德·艾哈邁迪-內賈德）的30篇英語演講稿為基礎，以數據一驅動的方法，從定量與定性兩種角度分別研究了三種情態（認識情態、道義情態與意志情態）和六類言據性標記詞（包括外部來源據素、共享來源據素與內部來源據素）在政治話語中的形式、語義與語用功能，同時考察了各類情態與言據性之間的共現與互動關係。
