Ngược lại, ba động từ Ame sử dụng 50% hoặc nhiều hơn thời gian (quyết định, đảm bảo và đề xuất) và đây là tất cả gây nên yếu kém. Do đó, xu hướng thuộc về tiếp tục pháp trong BRE thấy mạnh mẽ hơn bằng lời nói gây nên, trong khi trong Ame có xu hướng về phía gây nên yếu hơn. | 270 One Language Two Grammars Subjunctive Modal should Modal must have to Figure Distribution of noun trigger mandates in British and American news writing The mandative subjunctive 271 moderately strong. In contrast three AmE verbs use should 50 per cent or more of the time decide ensure and suggest and these are all weak triggers. Hence the trend towards the subjunctive in BrE is seen in the stronger verbal triggers while should in AmE tends toward the weaker triggers. Figure provides the distribution of mandates in the noun triggers and demonstrates greater contrast in mandative types than what was found for verbs. For example only two nouns demand and request show a strong preference for the subjunctive complement in both BrE and AmE. While ten of the eleven nouns take the subjunctive at 82 per cent or higher in AmE seven of which take the subjunctive at 100 per cent the vast majority of AmE noun triggers are found with the subjunctive. In comparison should is well-represented in the BrE nouns proposal 85 per cent recommendation 75 per cent and suggestion 91 per cent and also makes a decent showing in demand 35 per cent and insistence 40 per cent . The one noun that goes against this trend is advice where all BrE mandative complements were in the subjunctive and all AmE mandates were found with the modal should even though the number of overall occurrences is quite small. The three nouns that take the subjunctive 50 per cent or more of the time in BrE advice demand and request included two strong mandative triggers demand request and one weak one advice the one AmE trigger strongly preferring should advice is also weak in AmE. This suggests a trend towards BrE using stronger triggers in the subjunctive similar to what was found for verbs. The distribution of mandate types in adjective triggers is reported in Figure . The distinction in mandative types between BrE and AmE is even more apparent in adjectives than in nouns. Of the six identified .
