Subject:  English Modals


I am a professor in the English Department of Osaka Shoin Women's College,
majoring in English linguistics.  I am particularly interested in English
grammar and usage.
I have some questions to ask about English modals.  Can we say (1a), (2a), and
(3a) in the sense of (1b), (2b), and (3b) respectively?

(1) a. She would be 80 when she died.
    b. I think she was 80 when she died.
(2) a. She might be 80 when she died.
    b. It is possible that she was 80 when she died.
(3) a. She had to be 80 when she died.
    b. She must have been 80 when she died.

Many thanks in advance!  Please e-mail me directly.
With best wishes,
Kenji Kashino, Professor,

Subject:  Translation Theory

I will soon be teaching a postgraduate course in Translation Theory. It
is a linguistically-oriented course, not a practical course in
translation. However, it will of course be necessary to use practical
examples of the translation process and to look at translated texts.
The problem I have is that the students have different mother tongues,
and although their English is good, we have no other language in
common. This means that there is no pair of languages that we can all
understand that I can use for examples or exercises. Has anyone got any
ideas of how to deal with this problem?
