Possibility Readings of CAN and MAY and Their Potential Interchangeability

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper is concerned with possibility meanings of the English modal auxiliaries CAN and MAY in contemporary written British English. It reviews the issues relating to their usage and distribution on the basis of a qualitative analysis, with regard tothe degree of formality and stylistic stratification. The analysis focuses on the occurrences of CAN and MAY conveying possibility from the viewpoint of supposedly competing forms and attempts to demonstrate to what extent the senses involved are synonymous and in what way they are distinct. The paper thus aims to discuss the factors governing the interpretation and distribution of CAN and MAY in written language and summarizes the usage of their possibility meanings in different registers.
