In Hypothetical Modality, special reference is made to Singaporean English, a native-speaker L2 dialect of considerable importance in the South-East Asian region, and to the expression in the dialect of hypothetical modality, which appears to be indistinguishable from non-hypothetical modality in terms of the use of preterite or past forms of modal verbs. Within a grammaticalisation framework, a number of factors can be seen to be relevant to an explanation, including substratum and contact features such as tense/aspect marking, levels of lexical retention as an individual (psychological) phenomenon, and the fact that such dialects have a discontinuity in their development. In addition, the book defines pragmatic approaches to the understanding of hypothetical modality, in both diachronic and synchronic terms. 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$vv. 51. 606 $aModality (Linguistics) 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization 606 $aEnglish language$xModality 606 $aSecond language acquisition 615 0$aModality (Linguistics) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xGrammaticalization. 615 0$aEnglish language$xModality. 615 0$aSecond language acquisition. 676 $a415 700 $aZiegeler$b Debra$01612190 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962962803321 996 $aHypothetical modality$94346784 997 $aUNINA
