Abstract

Based on the result of the trends of modal sequences in Chinese English majors' argumentation, this research focuses on the relationship between English majors' tendency to use modal sequences and their time of enrollment. With the aid of corpus analysis, it reveals that the tendency to use modal verbs, whether epistemic or deontic, is not related to their enrollment time. This study subsequently provides reference to the understanding of how Chinese students acquire modal verbs and gives suggestions of how to teach modal verbs as well.
