?Now, so far was the first of these positions from being true, that it might on the contrary be proved that it was productive of great practical good; that ever since the Revolution, its tendency had been to preserve order and to ensure good government; and that nothing had operated so much to prevent troubles or even total dissolution of the government.
Харбин, кяп, просто хотел намекнуть, что есть и совершенно не модальное употребление глагола to be с инфинитивом, у которого нет ограничений, - в этом случае он просто глагол-связка между подлежащим и инфинитивом:
Английская грамматика – штука творческая :)
Кстати да. Понимают его даже лингвисты, зачастую, каждый по-своему и вижу я, Палмера почти осилив, там сплошные ifs and buts.
The situation with modality is rather different, because there
is no simple, clearly definable, semantic category, such as time
and enumeration. Nevertheless, something like Lyons' (1977:
452) suggestion that modality is concerned with the 'opinion and
attitude' of the speaker seems a fairly helpful preliminary definition.
The meanings expressed by the modal verbs in English
represent, to a large degree, those that are to be included in a
typological account of modality, though, as will be seen shortly,
the two most semantically fundamental kinds of modality (epistemic
and deontic - 1.1.3) are in one important sense very
different from each other, so that it is necessary to find a justification
for including them within a single category. Moreover,
it will be seen that some of the meanings of the modal verbs,
particularly the use of CAN to refer to ability and of WILL to refer
to volition and to the future, do not seem to be strictly matters
of modality at all; for ability and volition refer to characteristics
of the subject of the sentence rather than the speaker, while
future would seem to be a matter of tense. Yet it can be shown
that they have something in common with the more strictly
'modal' meanings of the verbs, if a third kind of modality
('dynamic') is admitted, and if one way of referring to the future
can be considered to be modal.
