“…in one of the approaches of the polysemy named (WordNet), both polysemy and lexical ambiguity have been treated as synonomyous, accordingly; polysemy and lexical ambiguity can occur in distinct contexts, referring to distinct meanings, and that's why, it is too hard to differentiate between both polysemy and lexical ambiguity because they both share common points such as related and extended senses (polysemy is considered as it is from the same lexeme) (Hong, 2015).…”

This paper describes three meanings of CAN (plus its derived form COULD) : possibility, ability and permission. The flexibility of meanings in CAN/COULD has been applied on English journals in different fields (i.e. politics, literary criticism, science-tech, sport and health). The paper concludes that the meaning of CAN/COULD denoting possibility is more frequent in the Science-Tech than in the other fields. ‫گ‬ ‫ۆڤ‬ ‫ار‬ ‫ی‬ ‫زانك‬ ‫ۆی‬ ‫راپ‬ ‫ەڕی‬ ‫ن‬ 1 The (ought to, need, dare and had better) are thought to belong to quasi modals. 2 The negative form *mayn't is not used, but may not is used instead. But furthermore we have verbs such as: prefer and hate, as in: I prefer not to ask him/ I hate not to win. However, they still have not negative forms like modals *preferen't/haten't. ‫گ‬ ‫ۆڤ‬ ‫ار‬ ‫ی‬ ‫زانك‬ ‫ۆی‬ ‫راپ‬ ‫ەڕی‬ ‫ن‬ Journal of University of Raparin
