Modality, Subjectivity, and Semantic Change

A Cross-Linguistic Perspective

Beschreibung

This book is a cross-linguistic exploration of semantic and functional change in modal markers. With a focus on Japanese and to a lesser extent Chinese the book is a countercheck to hypotheses built on the Indo-European languages. It also contains numerous illustrations from other languages.
