On Categorial Properties of English and German Modal Verbs
Original language description
Considering the prototypical properties of English and German verbs, this paper analyses the categorial status, i.e. the part of speech of core modal verbs in both languages. Illustrating the morphological and syntactic properties of modal elements in both languages, the paper demonstrates that English modals do not exhibit verbal properties and therefore cannot be considered verbs, despite the frequently held view. Furthermore, the paper illustrates that German modal verbs possess the majority of prototypical verbal properties, and therefore are to be considered legitimate members of this part of speech.
