This paper present about Modality, BNC web and Corpus
Linguistics.
1. BNC web
Provides means of corpus linguistic
analysis. Is a useful device to explore practical usage in English Language. Beside
common grammatical knowledge.
2. Objectives
Shed some light on modal verbs of
which meaning are difficult to make distinction on theoretical background.
Affirm that modalities can be
interchangeable due to different context, such as gender, type of data,
perceived level of difficulty.
3. Methods
Three modal verbs
(should, have to, must) will be scrutinized by available functions
(distribution, collocation and concordance) via BNC web in order to offer
empirical information, such as grammatical usage and discursive practice, of
modalities in British context. Details of methodology in each function will be
subsequently explained in results and discussion section.
