This work, which is both theoretical and descriptive, covers the entire range of modal expressions in English. It is organized so that the more general issues are dealt with first, followed by a more detailed analysis of the semantics of modal expressions. It is then supplemented by an assessment of how such an analysis is relevant to pragmatic and developmental perspectives on the expression of modality.Perkins, Michael R. is the author of 'Modal Expressions in English' with ISBN 9780893912093 and ISBN 0893912093.
