Will和Shall的应用变化分析——一项基于语料库的研究

Corpus-based research of application change in will and shall

助动词是动词的一种,它用以表示：可能、应该、愿望、必须……,通常放在动词(verb)之前。它也时常令初学者感到混淆。本文利用语料库检索的方法研究了Will和Shall在FLOB和FLOWN语料库里的实际应用,并借此为英语教学提供了一些可供参考的建议。

Auxiliary verb is a verb whose function it is to give further semantic information about the main verb which follows it. The auxiliary verbs always make beginners feel puzzled. In this research, the corpora FLOB and FLOWN are adopted to investigate the application of will and shall. Finally, based on the findings, the implications for EFL teaching are discussed.
