Her study focuses on the modal and semi-modal verbs of strong obligation and necessity in Hong Kong English, Indian English, and Singapore English based on the relevant ICE component corpora. She adopts a typologically-informed perspective on variation in World Englishes by comparing the structures of the speakers? first languages with the structures of the emergent varieties in the expression of epistemic modality. Beyond this, she analyses language change by constructing apparent-time scenarios to compensate for the lack of diachronic corpora in World Englishes. 410 0$aLanguage and Computers$v82. 606 $aEnglish language$xModality 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis 606 $aCorpora (Linguistics) 606 $aSociolinguistics 615 0$aEnglish language$xModality. 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis. 615 0$aCorpora (Linguistics) 615 0$aSociolinguistics. 676 $a425/.6 700 $aHansen$b Beke$01788403 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954950703321 996 $aCorpus linguistics and sociolinguistics$94323237 997 $aUNINA
