The Semantic Field of Modal Certainty (eBook, PDF)

A Corpus-Based Study of English Adverbs

Beschreibung

This book provides a detailed account of the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties of modal adverbs of certainty in present-day English. Methodologically it relies on three types of data: monolingual corpora, translation corpora and informant testing. It is the first study in which the semantic field of certainty as realised by English adverbs is explored.
