This book offers original theoretical accounts and a wealth of descriptive information concerning modality in present-day English. At the same time, it provides fresh impetus to more general linguistic issues such as grammaticalization, colloquialization, or the interplay between sociolinguistic and syntactic constraints. The articles fall into four sections: (a) the semantics and pragmatics of core modal verbs; (b) the status of emerging modal items; (c) stylistic variation and change; (d) sociolinguistic variation and syntactic models. The book is of considerable value to students and teachers of English and Linguistics at undergraduate and graduate level worldwide.

This book is written primarily for foreign students and teachers of English. That purpose governs the whole presentment and organization of the material and the type of explanation offered. To my own fellow countrymen it may, at the highest reckoning, offer a means of bringing to the surface hidden memories of curious and amusing words. Probably it brings them little that is new, but it may stimulate them to seek out and regroup their own linguistic experiences. In fifty years' time the work might even claim the atten tion of the English philologist, whom it will provide with a certain amount of dated material for his historical inductions. For the present its mission is more humble and more practical. The first idea that such a collection as the present might not be unwelcome, lowe to Professor Jespersen~ whose kindness in looking through the first draft and suggesting improvements I acknowledge with deep grati tude. Mr. Bradley and Mr. Hutton, both of the Liver pool University Library, have unselfishly given me the benefit of their sharp eyes and wide reading; a number of their proposed emendations and additions have been gratefully embodied. My special thanks are due to Dr. Hittmair of the University of Innsbruck, whose encouragement and ungrudging help have throughout been of the greatest value to me. Finally I feel I must express my gratitude to the firm of Teubner for its care in preparing my MS.

The Contemporary English Version Bible, first published in 1995, is one of the newest. This book explains why this translation was undertaken, how it stands out from others prepared for everyday use, and how it has been faithful to the very strict translation principles and standards which the translators of the King James Version Bible set for themselves four centuries ago. This book offers concise, focused discussions on what makes a translation easy to understand when the reader has no previous understanding of religious language, and explains the features that make a translation easy to understand when it is being read aloud by someone else. The chapter on "How to Evaluate the Readibility of a Bible Translation" explains why using a limited vocabulary list or relying upon short sentences isn't always the best way to make a translation easier for young people to understand. Each chapter offers insights that will help you or your church group discover ways the CEV can enhance and enliven your worship experience. --
