1. Modal verb form of negation
Chinese and English modal verbs have a negative form of a relatively fixed format. The vast majority of Chinese have negative modal verbs in the form of its negative form of expression: No modal verb + + verb. Such as "can not" and "should not" and "not".
But except in a negative adverb "no" to negate, some Chinese modal verbs can also use the negative adverb "no / no" to the negative, such as "to" negative forms can be "no", could also "did not / failed. " Such as: the city can not endure hardship.
In addition, not all the Chinese in the modal verb forms are certainly negative form of a preceding "no", such as: a - no, no.
All the English modal verbs have no form of expression for its denial: modal verb + not + verb. Such as: "may not", "need not (acronym for the needn't)" and "must not (acronym for mustn't)"
But can the negative form cannot (acronym for the can't) and can not two. Some scholars believe that the situation is no can't modal verbs, and can not deny the predicate verb.
English Although the modal verb form has a corresponding negative, but in reality, and sometimes the need for tone, this does not completely negate the one-on-one, such as the denial must have two must not and need not.
2 deny the scope of negative words
Denying that the scope of negative words in a language structure, negative words by the negative semantic play an important role in the language of, and those who have not negate the negative semantic word in terms of the negative outside. Such as: He obviously don't know how to do. (No scope don't know how to do, and obviously is not within the scope of the negative.)
2.1English modal verbs negative
English modal verbs denial of the CIA, and the situation has great significance state relations. Modal verbs can be used to negate the significance of the Modal denial can be stated in the denial of the proposition.
Palmer (1988): Analysis of the situation in the state deny the existence of two forms of the problem, the first is different modal verbs can deny the same modal significance, and the second is theoretically not all have negative modal verb forms, in some cases by semantic similar alternative forms instead.
These two can and may modal verb that can be subjective speculation Modal significance, but they expressed by the form of denial of the meaning and scope are not the same. Table speculative significance of the "can't" no Modal part of the sentence, saying that "not possible that", and "may not" negate the proposition part of that "possible that ... not." Modal obligations speaker said that by giving permission to impose obligations influence or guide the disobedient acts. Modals obligations denial of Modal and will be part of the negative proposition that the modal verbs can be in the negative range, can negate the outside. On the state of denying that the situation does not allow the other side to do something, such as may not and can not / can 't, or that "there is no need to do something," such as needn't.
Another said that the significance of obligations modal verb must Modal mustn't form of negation is usually negative proposition that the obligation to bring the other side "must not do." Modals denying outside. Such as: Students mustn't cheat in the exam.
Estrus state that the original meaning in the real world, there are certain circumstances makes the concept of the circumstances of possible or necessary to become a reality, said the statement Subject characteristics and the overall situation. States included in the original emotion. Can and will be emotionally state that the original meaning contained in the ability and willingness of the two semantic areas. Under normal circumstances, the denial of modal verbs Modal only negative part of the modal verb in the negative range. For example, I can't lift the heavy box.
From the above in English and Chinese Modals denial of the scope of different, we can see that Chinese Modals focus on the negative modal verb word order and the negative adverbs are, on the order of denial of the front and rear, or to the basis of grammar. English modal verbs and the denial of a semantics-based, modal verbs and objects to deny the scope of the situation by the state of modal verb meaning decision.
