Abstract

This chapter compares the historical development of modal verbs in Dutch and English. Modals in present‐day Dutch may be non‐finite, and may appear under other auxiliaries in long verb clusters. This is an Early Modern Dutch innovation, resulting from a change in mood morphology combined with the rise of the IPP‐effect.
