While the rest of the modal auxiliaries have clear-cut distinctions between Root and Episteme, CAN looks fuzzy. Coates (1983) says that CAN is the only modal auxiliary where the Root-Epistemic distinction is not found. She asserts that there is no epistemic meaning in CAN and that CAN’T is an invariant form which supplies the negative for the epistemic MUST paradigm. The chief intent of this paper is to point out some deficiencies in Coates’ theory, based on my investigation into the meanings of the modal auxiliaries in written and spoken English.}, pages = {89--103}, title = {CANの認識様態的意味について}, volume = {第4巻}, year = {1991}, yomi = {テラダ, マサヨシ} }
