| Summary: | The present work explores the modal architectonics of the advertising slogan as a type of microtext in English and Chinese. The authors attempted to describe the basic markers of the text category of modality. According to this data we could carry out the linguistic analysis of the selected language material. The main language models of English and Chinese advertising slogans are revealed, such as: slogan-axiom, slogan-commissive, slogan-directive, slogan-interrogative and slogan-qualitative. As the result of the study, we have revealed and distinguished a list of invariant features such as: modal determination, one-system modal construction, monomodality, heterogeneity of language means. They are used to construct a text category of modality in this type of the microtext in the English and Chinese languages, in general, and for each language model, in particular.
