The article deals with the ability of modal particles in German to build modal-evaluative frame of the utterance. It is shown that they attract other modal or evaluative elements in the sentence. It becomes evident when modal particles are used in some types of dependent clauses, after modal words or if they encode causal relations between sentences. The author considers them as central components of modal-evaluative frame because they express multiplane deixis and are possible in the utterances which are made from the inner perspective.
