MODAL OPERATORS IN MODERN ENGLISH AND DUTCH
Keywords:
modal verb, periphrastic construction, quasi-auxiliary status, English and Dutch.Abstract
The article deals with the peculiarities of modal verbs and periphrastic constructions in modern Englishand Dutch. The status of these verb groups was determined, and the most recognative features of them
were singled out and described. The semantic aspects of these groups were observed in close comparison
of English and Dutch. Distinct criteria for the classif cation of modals, auxiliaries and periphrastics
were set out. Comparison of similarity and dif erence was based on the belonging of English and Dutch
to the West subgroup of the Germanic languages.
