This corpus-based study of collocational trends of modal auxiliary verbs and adverbs in contemporary American English has found that adverbs as collocates impose speaker's subjective attitudes on the proposition of provided contents so that they intensify the meaning of modality of each modal verb according to the interpretation of epistemic or deontic modality. The strength of attraction between modals and adverbs can be provided by the MI-score from the Corpus of Contemporary American English, and the co-occurrence tendencies in association between the two forms can be more or less anticipated according to the degree of strength of the speaker's assessment. However, the prediction cannot always depend on the tendency because the MI-scores themselves cannot be taken as accurate criteria for the modal harmony. This paper argues that these collocations should be interpreted according to contextual cues rather than semantic or syntactic rules.
Abstract
This corpus-based study of collocational trends of modal auxiliary verbs and adverbs in contemporary American English has found that adverbs as collocates impose speaker's subjective attitudes on the proposition of provided contents so that they intensify the meaning of modality of each modal verb according to the interpretation of epistemic or deontic modality. The strength of attraction between modals and adverbs can be provided by the MI-score from the Corpus of Contemporary American English, and the co-occurrence tendencies in association between the two forms can be more or less anticipated according to the degree of strength of the speaker's assessment. However, the prediction cannot always depend on the tendency because the MI-scores themselves cannot be taken as accurate criteria for the modal harmony. This paper argues that these collocations should be interpreted according to contextual cues rather than semantic or syntactic rules.
