Mood and Modality
This substantially revised and updated edition of Mood and Modality offers a comprehensive survey of the ways in which languages express modal meanings. F. R. Palmer covers the two main types of modality: epistemic, concerned with the speaker's attitude to the truth of a proposition, and deontic, concerned with obligation and permission. He examines the various grammatical means by which modality is expressed, including verbal inflection, modal v…

Grammar and Meaning
Since the publication of his Introduction to Theoretical Linguistics (1968), Sir John Lyons became one of the most important and internationally renowned contributors to the study of linguistics. In a career which spanned several decades, he addressed himself to a broad range of issues of fundamental importance and is particularly noted for his seminal two-volume work, Semantics (1977). This volume, which is edited with an introduction by F. R. P…

Why auxiliaries are not main verbs
Past tense transportation
Huddleston (1977: 43), following some remarks by Poutsma (1926: 441–447), suggests that in (Huddleston's numbering) (1) I could have got the money easily enough there is past tense transportation (PTT), in that the CAN clause has ‘Unreal Mood (marked by the inflection on CAN) and underlying Past Tense’ and that the application of a transformational rule (PTT) allows ‘the Past Tense to be realized in the complement – by HAVE’. He proceeds to argue…

Possessive pronouns in Dóngola
A detailed though somewhat unsophisticated account of Dóngola is that of Armbruster (1960). During 1975-6 I had the opportunity of working for short periods with a speaker of Dóngola, Mr. Ibrahim Abdel Karim, and there was little doubt that his speech was the dialect described by Armbruster. I paid particular attention to the possessive pronouns and found that both my observations and my interpretation differed in some important ways from those o…

Modals and actuality
Part of the meaning of a verb phrase containing a form of one of the English modal verbs CAN and WILL 1 is that the actions, events, etc., indicated by the following full verb took place, takes place and will take place. I shall use the term MODALITY to refer to the meaning of the modal verb and EVENT to refer to the meaning of the full verb and say that, in certain circumstances, there is ACTUALITY of the event or that the event is ACTUALIZED.

The Verb in Bilin
This paper is a study of the verbal forms of Bilin,1 which is spoken in and around the town of Keren in Eritrea. Bilin is usually regarded as one of the dialects of the Cushitic language of Agau,2 but it differs considerably from the Agau dialects of Ethiopia proper, and, while undoubtedly to be classified as Cushitic, has much phonological, and a little morphological affinity with the neighbouring Semitic languages of Tigre and Tigrinya. Researc…
Why auxiliaries are not main verbs
The Noun in Bilin
This study of the nominal forms of Bilin follows the theoretical approach and expositional framework of a previous paper that dealt with the verbal forms of the language, but the linguistic statement is both phonologically and morphologically of a very different type.The forms associated with the scatter of the noun are far less numerous than those of the verb; the maximum number theoretically obtainable from the analysis presented here is 84. So…
Openness' in Tigre
An essential part of the prosodic approach is the abstraction of those features that may be regarded as syntagmatic. One feature of this kind is 'vowel harmony'; prosodic analysis is well equipped to deal with this in terms of x2018;frontness' and 'backness', or 'openness' and 'closeness', these being treated as characteristic of the entire word or of a considerable part of it.In the phonological analysis of Tigre a prosodic feature of this kind …

The semantics of the english verb
Relative Clauses in Tigre
The 'Broken Plurals' Of Tigrinya
THE paradigms that may be set up for the nominals in Tigrinya1 in terms of the category of number (established on syntactical and further morphological grounds) consist of two members, conveniently termed 'singular' and 'plural'. The morphological analysis for the forms placed in this grammatical relationship may, for some of them, be given in terms of 'external flection' or 'sumxation', but for many forms, including those in commonest use, the d…
