M.A in Linguistics, National Taiwan Normal University (2023~ ). Linguistic typology, functional theories of grammar, Austronesian languages (Seediq) and Tibeto-Burman languages (Jinghpaw, Pa’O)
Quite a few young enthusiasts or linguistics to be like me are fascinated with these beautiful languages.
Therefore, I hope that in the future we can still maintain this research enterprise in AD and continue to make it thrive. /END

In my poster, I will attempt to argue the ‘cross-domain’ (e.g. IE languages) vs. ‘domain-specific’ (e.g. Atayalic languages) distinction on the general functions of modals in a language (cf. Cheng 2013) is worth examining cross-linguistically.

This contrasts with modals in IE languages, which are well-known for their functions of denoting more than one type of modality in different contexts.

The 2006 version is my childhood memory and is perhaps more close to the original novel.
