Une analyse des modaux dans la representation ecrite de l'anglais americain parle depuis 1824 montre des changements significatifs aussi bien en ce qui concerne l'usage des modaux que les fonctions des expressions modales. Le but de l'A. est de repondre a deux questions: 1)Dans quelle mesure les langues sont-elles semblables et stables par rapport aux fonctions qu'elles expriment? 2)Pourquoi la langue change-t-elle
