| Abstract | Based on corpus data from the ARCHER corpus and the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) from 1800 to the present, the paper presents a syntactic and semantic analysis of the verb need. It is argued that its two different forms for the expression of modal meanings can be trated as two different verbs both on syntactic and semantic grounds: While need is used with modal auxiliary syntax, need to is used as a main verb, and the two verbs express different modal meanings. Since in PDE the emerging modal need to drastically gains in frequency at the expense of central modal need, this development must be interpreted against the background of current changes in the system of English modal auxiliaries pointed out in previous studies. It is shown that need to is not a direct rival of need but of other modals of obligation such as must and have to because the obligation expressed by need to often is more polite, implying that the action demanded is in the addressee's own interest.
