	Mood and the analysis of non-declarative sentences
		The literature on interrogatives parallels the literature on imperatives: some people treat interrogative mood as a conventional indicator of force; others try to assign it some intrinsic semantic content that would interact with contextual assumptions and pragmatic principles to yield an explanatory account of force.
		Interrogative sentences (or rather such characteristic features as interrogative word order, intonation and interrogative particles) are also linked to representations of desirability, in this case desirability of a thought rather than a state of affairs.
		In each case, the meaning of the interrogative is a function of the meaning of the interrogative marker on the one hand, and of indicative, subjunctive or imperative verb form on the other.

	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.
		This is unusual; in Finnish, for example, the conditional mood is used both in the main and the subordinate clauses.
		The eventive mood is used in the Finnish epic poem, Kalevala.

		The subjunctive mood (sometimes referred to as the conjunctive mood) is a grammatical mood of the verb that expresses wishes, commands (in subordinate clauses), and statements that are contrary to fact.
		A question mark (or, less commonly, an interrogation point or eroteme) is a punctuation mark that replaces the period at the end of an interrogative sentence.
		Another hypothesis about the origin of the question mark proposes that the mark originated in the 9th century, when it appeared as a point followed by the curvy bit written slanted (similar to the tilde, although the tilde was tilted more upward to the right).

	Interrogative mood - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics and grammar, the interrogative mood is a grammatical mood used for asking questions.
		Languages that use a special mood of the verb to mark questions may also employ one or more of the preceding methods.
