Description

This volume presents strongly empirical, corpus-based studies of a range of English modal auxiliaries and modal constructions in specific uses. It also approaches some of the classic issues in the field of modality from new perspectives, notably that of the ??;Theory of Enunciative Operations?? developed by the French linguist Antoine Culioli and his colleagues.
