2. The Category of Mood A great divergence of opinions on the category of mood is caused by the fact that identical mood forms can express different meanings and different forms can express similar meanings. The category of mood expresses the relation of nominative content of the sentence towards reality. Hence there are two moods – one presenting the action as real and the other presenting the action as unreal. Real actions are expressed by the indicative mood and unreal are expressed by the oblique mood. I go to university. vs. He suggests I (should) go to university. I am a student again. vs. I wish I were a student again. As for the imperative mood, traditionally it has been referred to as a separate mood. However, Prof. Blokh thinks that the imperative is a variety of the subjunctive. This can be shown by means of equivalent transformations: Be off! _ I demand that you (should) be off. 46 Do be careful with the papers. _ My request is that you (should) be careful with the papers. Do as I ask you! _ I insist that you (should) do as I ask you. As it can be seen, the meaning of the imperative does not much differ from the meaning of the subjunctive. It expresses a directive which may or may not be translated into a fact. Thus if we agree with M. Blokh, we shall have only two moods – the indicative and the non-indicative, or spective. Speaking of the system of oblique moods, linguists distinguish various semantic varieties: Subjunctive I, Subjunctive II, Conditional, Suppositional. Subjunctive I So be it. Long live the Queen. жүктеу/скачать 0,5 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
