Abstract
|
|
|
|
| The German modals are extremely polyfunctional. They carry a wide array of meanings - objective (deontic) and subjective (epistemic) ones - and occur in a great variety of linguistic constructions: they mainly behave like auxiliaries (selecting a bare infinitive) but can also be used as main verbs. Moreover, they not only occur in the indicative, but also in the past subjunctive, whereby the latter combination gives rise to novel meanings that cannot be analysed fullly compositionally. |
