Extract

Mr. Hulton has made interesting comments (C.Q., N.S. vii (1957), 139–42) on my earlier article (ibid. xl (1946), 1–10), from which I note that he is in favour of the construction, and also sees emphatic meaning in some examples. I am afraid, however, that I do not find his arguments convincing. Perhaps some brief remarks on them may be helpful.

Gramm. ii. 305,Google Scholar calling them Modalpartikeln, says of them that they strengthen the pre-existent modal uses of the prospective subjunctive and potential optative; their use was originally optional, but then became indispensable. We may compare the use of prepositions, originally added to supplement the meaning of the cases, but eventually often indispensable.
