1. What is the problem? The main problem of the topic is that subjective modality can be expressed not only through commonly known and most frequently used modals and auxiliaries such as modal verbs, but through other means, such as adjectives, nouns, adverbs etc. According to Solganik, subjective modality is present in all levels of language. In the lexicology, it’s a variety of evaluative means; in morphology – modal linking words, particles, pronouns, etc. Even in semantics of case, modality

The English verbs include four forms distinctly differing one another within the general verb system: the infinitive, the present participle, the past participle and the gerund.

Furthermore, when participants where asked whether there was glass in the accident the results supported the expectation. With over double the participants who received the verb smashed responding yes in comparison to the participants questioned with hit.

Introduction : A denominal verb is a grammatical form that refers to an element which originates as a noun but is used in someway in sentence as a verb. A denominal verb is much distinct than other typical verbs that are originally born functioning as verbs, i.e, they historically used to be nouns before they underwent some operations that contributed in the transformation of their lexical category.

A reason why I believe this concept is important is that it fits perfectly within the usage-based theory, with the claim that “language structure emerges from language use”, and with what we have been reading until now. Tomasello explains that children show the

In writing, correctly Williams and Bizup identified three rules that affect grammatical correctness. However, Williams & Bizup opined, that one had the choice to selectively observe the rules. The first type of rules, discussed, by Williams & Bizup included “real rules” (p. 11). The second type of rules, mentioned, by Williams & Bizup included “social rules” (p. 12), where social rules distinguished standard and nonstandard language. Finally, the last set of rules mentioned,
