О системе наклонений глагола в монгольских и тюркских языках
Grammatical mood in the Mongolian and Turkic languages

Summary/Abstract: In the article the author has a view that grammatical mood is a grammatical category expressing the way actions refer to the reality and proves that a language reflects the reality with its forms of grammatical moods. The article proves existence of the system in the Mongolian languages that consists of four independent moods ― temporal, modal, adverbial and irreal, each including forms that correspond to tense, modality and person. A comparison with the system of grammatical moods in Old Turkic reveals the typological similarity and absence of material base that proves their independent formation.
