RESEARCH INTRODUCTION
“Very often, linguists no longer study the grammar of one language in isolation, but rather,
they compare one language with one or more other languages.” (Haegeman and Guéron
1999, 581) The comparative approach is based on properties
that are specific in one
language and these properties are applied into other languages. We can study whether they
are different or universal among languages (Haegeman and Guéron 1999, 582).
My research will be focused on English and Czech languages. I will study whether certain
English properties are the same in Czech or they are presented differently. It will be based
on information mentioned in the theory above. The target word is the modal verb
could and
its equivalents in Czech will be examined. All research
information will be found
in a subcorpus I will make from InterCorp. I will describe
the way how I will create
the subcorpus bellow.
