At the same time, it provides fresh impetus to more general linguistic issues such as grammaticalization, colloquialization, or the interplay between sociolinguistic and syntactic constraints. The articles fall into four sections: (a) the semantics and pragmatics of core modal verbs; (b) the status of emerging modal items; (c) stylistic variation and change; (d) sociolinguistic variation and syntactic models. The book is of considerable value to students and teachers of English and Linguistics at undergraduate and graduate level worldwide. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$v44. 606 $aEnglish language$xModality 606 $aModality (Linguistics) 615 0$aEnglish language$xModality. 615 0$aModality (Linguistics) 676 $a425 686 $aHF 177$2rvk 702 $aFacchinetti$b Roberta$f1967- 702 $aKrug$b Manfred G.$f1966- 702 $aPalmer$b F.
