Expressions of modality in Germanic: Competition and change

This workshop is concerned with (changes in) expressions of modality in the histories of the Germanic languages. To gain a better understanding of modal expressions in older Germanic languages, of how they compete and how they change, the workshop features corpus-based studies that are semasiological or onomasiological in nature, based on a single language or a comparison of two languages or more.
