The Semantic Field of Modal Certainty - Karin Aijmer, Anne-Marie Simon-Vandenbergen
This book provides a detailed account of the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic properties of modal adverbs of certainty in present-day English. It is the first study in which the semantic field of certainty as realised by English adverbs is explored. Methodologically it relies on three types of data: monolingual corpora, translation corpora and informant testing.
