《商務(wù)英語教師發(fā)展學(xué)養(yǎng)叢書·法律英語的傳統(tǒng)與變革：規(guī)范性文本的動詞結(jié)構(gòu)》中以全世界范圍內(nèi)以英語為官方語言的母語國家政府和權(quán)威機構(gòu)以及國際性組織頒布的正式公約、法律和法規(guī)作為研究對象，不僅對這些規(guī)范性法律文本中的所有情態(tài)動詞以及半情態(tài)動詞進行解析，而且對所有動詞的陳述性結(jié)構(gòu)以及非限定性結(jié)構(gòu)（尤其是動名詞形式和過去分詞形式）展開全面梳理，而這兩方面內(nèi)容也正是法律英語研究者常常忽略的問題之一。此外，為了將動詞結(jié)構(gòu)在規(guī)范性法律文本中的運用分析得全面且透徹，作者對于規(guī)范性法律文本的特征、通用的角度、時態(tài)、情態(tài)等問題進行了歸納，同時對于可能涉及的法律原則也進行了全面的總結(jié)。
