THE MAIN SYMPTOMS OF IRREALIS CONCEPTUALIZATION
Keywords:
concept, irrelis, optative device, prtotypic aspect, potential phenomenon, alternative relationAbstract
In recent times, it has been observed that the linguistic significance of the confrontation between the concepts of Realis and irrealis in linguistics is the subject of heated debate. The fact that the concept of Irrelis has not been fully and widely studied and clearly described suggests the need for a comparative-typological comprehensive study of this phenomenon. Currently, the fact that Irrealis is not yet given the status of an autonomous semantic category causes controversy among linguists. Semantically proportionality of the Irrealis concept assumes learning by analyzing in most irrealis constructions (hypothetical condition statements, opposite conditions, side-click conditions, optatives, commands, alternative relations).
