The patterns observed show a general concurrence with the thematic characterizations of Austen’s heroines which are found in literary analysis. In order to examine the types of obligations associated with each heroine, we then investigate the distribution of these categories in relation to mentions of each heroine. ![]() The paper offers a brief explanation of the categories of obligation chosen for this investigation. We also examine the co-occurrences of these modals with name mentions of the heroines in the six novels, categorizing each occurrence with a category of obligation if applicable. This paper investigates the collocation and distribution within Jane Austen’s six mature novels of the following deontic modals: must, should, ought, and need. Abstract Deontic modals are auxiliary verbs which express some kind of necessity, obligation, or moral recommendation. ![]()
