Abstract:

In Corpus Linguistics and Sociolinguistics, Beke Hansen analyses variation and
change in the modal systems of three second-language varieties of English in
Asia by taking a sociolinguistic approach to corpus data. Her study focuses on
the modal and semi-modal verbs of strong obligation and necessity in Hong Kong
English, Indian English, and Singapore English based on the relevant ICE
component corpora. She adopts a typologically-informed perspective on
variation in World Englishes by comparing the structures of the speakers’
first languages with the structures of the emergent varieties in the
expression of epistemic modality. Beyond this, she analyses language change by
constructing apparent-time scenarios to compensate for the lack of diachronic
corpora in World Englishes.
