PREDICATIVE ARRANGEMENT OF NATIONAL ANTHEM TEXTS IN ENGLISH- AND GERMAN- SPEAKING COMMUNITIES by Anatoliy M. Prykhodko, Nataliia V. Lazebna

“…The established paradigm of predicative forms in the texts is found to be incomplete, influenced by factors such as neglect, diffusion, and dominance. In the modal network, the neglect of certain grammatical forms in favor of others results from the asymmetric reduction of three forms of objective modality to two (indicative and imperative). …”
