Abstract |
The expression of
deontic modality is investigated in a corpus of
French bilateral contracts to clarify lexical &
grammatical choices made by contractants. The
frequent use of the present tense & the simple
future to express contractual obligations is
argued to reflect a distinction between (1) a
general rule, obvious in the situational context
(present tense), & (2) a firm conviction that the
rules of contract law will be respected (future
tense). A distinct preference for negated pouvoir
'to be able' instead of affirmative devoir 'must'
emphasizes prohibition by blocking an act
envisaged by the other party; it is suggested that
an obligation expressed by devoir takes effect at
the moment of utterance & is therefore less easily
controlled than a prohibition encoded by negated
pouvoir, which is based on an obvious implicit
rule. 31 References. J. Hitchcock |
