释义 | double modal Double modal is a term used by linguists to describe such expressions as might can, might could, and might should. Several of these have received comment in usage books. Those that survive in present-day American English tend to be used in speech rather than writing, and are generally old-fashioned or dialectal. Might could (which see) seems to be a still flourishing speech form in the Southern U.S. There are other combinations at ought. |
