Grammatical mood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Grammatical mood per se is not the same thing as grammatical tense or grammatical aspect, although these concepts are conflated to some degree in many languages, including English and most other modern Indo-European languages, insofar as the same word patterns are used to express more than one of these concepts at the same time. The conditional mood does not express uncertainty; this is a distinct mood, the potential mood, which is expressed with the words "probably" or "may" in English. The presumptive mood is used in Romanian to express presupposition or hypothesis regarding the fact denoted by the verb, as well as other more or less similar attitudes: doubt, curiosity, concern, condition, indifference, inevitability. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Imperative_mood   (2479 words)

Greek Verbs (Shorter Definitions) This tense is only found in the indicative mood and is rarely used in the New Testament. Grammatical voice indicates whether the subject is the performer of the action of the verb (active voice), or the subject is the recipient of the action (passive voice). The indicative mood is the only mood conceived of as actual while with the other three moods (imperative, subjunctive, and optative) the action is only thought of as possible or potential. www.ntgreek.org /learn_nt_greek/verbs1.htm   (2210 words)

The Grammatical Foundations of Style Initially, we started by discussing some of the grammatical patterns in the smallest constituents of grammar (morphemes) and we have traced the development of grammatical patterns through the word, phrase, clause, and clause complex, finishing with a discussion of grammatical patterns that arise within texts as a whole. Halliday (1994:xix-xxxv) discusses the 'ineffability of linguistic categories' and uses the term cline to describe the grammatical property discussed here, while Kies (1985b) and Matthews (1981:17-21) describe the indeterminacy inherent in grammatical categories. Grammatical metaphors are created through the grammatical process of 'derivation' by which a verb or an adjective is converted into a noun, often by adding an ending to the verb or adjective. papyr.com /hypertextbooks/grammar/style.htm   (4047 words)

Cohortative mood - TheBestLinks.com - Christianity, Genesis, Grammatical conjugation, Grammatical mood, ... The cohortative mood (also known as Intentional; "cohortative subjunctive" is also synonymous with "hortatory subjunctive") is a grammatical mood, used to express plea, insistence, imploring, self-encouragement, wish, desire, intent, command, purpose or consequence. It is similar to the jussive mood, with the notable exception that the cohortative appears only in first person, whereas the jussive appears in second or third. While not found in modern Hebrew, the cohortative mood has an important role in Biblical Hebrew, where it was represented by a lengthened future form; namely adding the vowel 'ā' (adding of the letter ה) at the end of an already conjugated verb. www.thebestlinks.com /Cohortative.html   (314 words)

inthemood.doc The passage discusses a certain counterfactual course of history, namely one in which Kennedy would not have been killed. The subjunctive mood activates a predicate for a governing modal operator, in that the predicate is to be evaluated with respect to the counterfactual circumstances conjured up by that operator. Hence mood is a semantically significant syntactic feature of individual predicates, determining their orientation towards actual or counterfactual situations, and not just a scopal element pertaining to the logical structure of whole sentences. www.socsci.uci.edu /lps/home/fac-staff/faculty/wehmeier/inthemood.doc   (7605 words)

Grammatical conjugation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Conjugation may be affected by person, number, gender, tense, mood, voice, grammatical aspect, or other language-specific factors. This catagorisation tells us that we can conjugate any regular Latin verb to any person, number, tense, mood, and voice if we know which conjugation group it belongs to and some key forms called principal parts. In linguistics, grammatical conjugation is the creation of derived forms of a verb from the word root by inflection (regular alteration according to rules of grammar). www.indexlistus.de /keyword/Grammatical_conjugation.php   (334 words)

What is mood and modality? Modality is a facet of illocutionary force, signaled by grammatical devices (that is, moods), that expresses Others distinguish the two, as we do here, by using mood to refer to the contrastive grammatical expressions of different modalities and reserving modality to refer to the meanings so expressed. Mood is one of a set of distinctive forms that are used to signal modality. www.sil.org /linguistics/GlossaryOfLinguisticTerms/WhatIsMoodAndModality.htm   (185 words)

Chapter 2: Language and the Objectification of Experience The narrative 'mood', conceived as a structure for the representation of a time which is parallel to the present but not identical with it (nor even overlapping with it), appears to be eminently at home in the 'present' or in some modified representation of the 'present tense'. 'Mood' is revealed in the use of forms of the verb which convey, in and of themselves, a particular attitude on the part of the speaker toward the discourse and its varied content. Thus, though the physical outcome may be the same, the direct relation between the killer, as grammatical subject, and the victim, as grammatical object, is effectively blocked as a cultural paradigm--this through the tiny preposition-like particle 'a' (in the phrase al hombre) which seems to specify, at most, the direction of the hostile venture. www.saivo.com /book2.htm   (17359 words)

SILEBR 2004/010 — Review of “Mood and modality (2nd edition)” Historically in language descriptions, the grammatical terms “modality” and “mood” have lacked truly definitive categories of meaning. In this book, Palmer treats “modality” as a valid cross-language grammatical category that, along with tense and aspect, is notionally concerned with the event or situation that is reported by an utterance. According to Palmer, three grammatical categories predominate in the expression of the notional categories: (1) affixation of verbs, (2) modal verbs, and (3) particles. www.sil.org:8090 /silebr/2004/silebr2004-010   (788 words)

Salvation Universal The reader should be aware that the Calvinists claim we are saved and then enabled to act or believe with respect to our salvation; accordingly, tense, mood, and voice are meaningless in terms of becoming a Christian. The conditional nature, hidden by a wrong translation, is shown by the mood, and the activity of the subject is noted in the middle voice—a deathblow to the Five Points. The force of the grammatical construction is thus shown in the translation. www.crisispub.com /greek/salvation_universal.htm   (1661 words)

L'universale della promessa In particular, he analyzes the research of Otto Jespersen on the promissive as a "mood of thought" and the hypothesis of Jean-Louis Gardies that the promissive mood is a case of the "purely performative grammatical mood". Di Lucia lays emphasis on research into the promissive grammatical mood. An investigation into promising is not exhausted, in Di Lucia’s view, by an analysis of the act of promising (that is, of promising as an act), but transcends itself in a theory of the promise as a linguistic category. cfs.unipv.it /opere/pdl/promessa.htm   (212 words)

bybee.html It examines for instance the mood as a cross-linguistic grammatical category or the factors determining the development of verbal inflection. In the first out of 10 chapters she outlines some of the traditional problems (morphological fusion, allomorphy, grammatical meaning).

moran It is the effect of a poetic metaphor that survives denial and is indifferent to quotation or grammatical mood. Grammatical mood and the distinction between assertion and "mere" mention simply don't apply to pictures. Pictures share with metaphors the capacity to get a point across in a way that is indifferent to grammatical mood or to the distinction between bringing something up and saying something in particular about it. www.uchicago.edu /research/jnl-crit-inq/issues/v16/v16n1.moran.html   (2760 words)

svrfgr3e.html The grammatical category mood has to do with the attitude of the speaker towards what he is saying. A plain declarative is strictly speaking unmarked for mood (indicative), but the verb may also be marked to express the speaker’s commitment with respect to the factual status of what he is saying, his uncertainty or doubt, his desire, obligations etc. The Swedish verb is not inflected for mood. www.hum.uit.no /a/svenonius/lingua/flow/co/gram/rfgrsv/svrfgr3e.html   (1886 words)

Some Additional Aspects of Semantic Indefiniteness of Proverbs Hence the illusion may arise that proverbs can be classified functionally straight on the ground of their "superficial" grammatical moods, so that the proverbs with stating (designative, informative) function were represented with indicative sentences, and those with normative (prescriptive, evocative) function, respectively, with imperative sentences. The functional aspects mentioned are in certain relationship with grammatical moods of the sentence. We suppose, however, this scale should fit in with the nature of the proverb, and it has, incidentally, the virtues that it (a) operates with concepts general enough, and (b) allows to consider the set of its subfunctions (or functional aspects) as a unified system. www.deproverbio.com /DPjournal/DP,5,2,99/KRIKMANN/INDEFINITENESS.html   (2582 words)

McCarty, “Depth, Markup and Modelling” For all occurrences of verbs the grammatical mood is recorded (indicative, subjunctive or imperative). Whatever weight is derived for an occurrence is then multiplied by the value assigned to the mood of the occurrence so that the total effect is appropriately modified. What I call “local factors” -- words and phrases in close, grammatical relationship to the entity in question, other than verbs-- are treated as in Figure 5. www.chass.utoronto.ca /epc/chwp/CHC2003/McCarty_b2.htm   (4390 words)

Matter-of-factConditionals.doc When we say of some conditional that it is “indicative”, we are ordinarily describing the grammatical mood of a sentence. As a result, it is sensible to conclude that the relation between indicative conditional sentences and the propositions that they express is not uniquely determined by the grammatical structure of the sentence, and that a context dependent theory of grammatically indicative conditional sentences is needed. Thus, those philosophers who analogize ‘the indicative conditional’ with other logical connectives like the material conditional and the strict conditional appear to be begging the question as to whether there actually is a unique logical operator underlying all indicative conditional sentences. www.people.virginia.edu /~jes8v/writing/Matter-of-factConditionals.doc   (2271 words)

Ephesians 4:13-14 Here is a place where the grammatical mood of a verb is important. The subjunctive mood says "maybe we will come (to unity) and maybe we won't."

Holy Fire Prayer Group Every grammatical tense in the Greek language is further explained by its grammatical “moods.” The grammatical mood gives life to the past tense in this case. There are three moods in the Greek grammar; we will however only deal with the two that concern us today; the indicative and the subjunctive. The subjunctive is the mood of “probability and possibility,” and its occurrence is conditional upon a person’s free will to make it happen. www.homestead.com /christianindiantv/files/CCC051603.htm   (3341 words)
