The Passive with The Modal Verbs in the Subordinate Clause

The main purpose of this paper is to describe and recognize the special characteristics of the passive in the German language (Besonderheiten des Passivs: Passivsatz ohne Subjekt; Passive mit Modalverben im Nebensatz). This research investigated two languages, two systems, and two structures, and by describing them, the researcher discussed the differences and similarities between these two languages. This research was conducted using the contrastive analysis method. In this paper, we’ll analyze the passive with modal verbs in the German language (wollen, sollen, können, müssen, dürfen, mögen), in the Albanian language (mund, duhet, do, lipset), and the paper is in English, so in this language, the modal verbs are: can, could, must, may, might, shall, should, will, and would. Modal auxiliaries generally express a speaker’s attitudes or moods. For example, modals can express that a speaker feels something is necessary, advisable, permissible, possible, or probable, and in addition, they can convey the strength of these attitudes. The subordinate clause in German and in Albanian has the contrast between the two languages, as discussed in this paper from 2.1 to 3.

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to describe and recognize the special characteristics of the passive in the German language (Besonderheiten des Passivs: Passivsatz ohne Subjekt; Passive mit Modalverben im Nebensatz). This research investigated two languages, two systems, and two structures, and by describing them, the researcher discussed the differences and similarities between these two languages. This research was conducted using the contrastive analysis method. In this paper, we’ll analyze the passive with modal verbs in the German language (wollen, sollen, können, müssen, dürfen, mögen), in the Albanian language (mund, duhet, do, lipset), and the paper is in English, so in this language, the modal verbs are: can, could, must, may, might, shall, should, will, and would. Modal auxiliaries generally express a speaker’s attitudes or moods. For example, modals can express that a speaker feels something is necessary, advisable, permissible, possible, or probable, and in addition, they can convey the strength of these attitudes. The subordinate clause in German and in Albanian has the contrast between the two languages, as discussed in this paper from 2.1 to 3.
