  1. Abstract Manifold Of Language Interactions

    Linked via "grammatical mood"

    Manifold Isotropy and the Axiom of Intrinsic Tension
    A key debate within AMLI theory concerns the isotropy of the manifold. Initial models assumed uniform properties across all dimensions (a flat, Euclidean analogue for 'universal grammar'). However, empirical analysis of historical textual corpora (specifically the 'Babel Sift' data set) demonstrated significant anisotropic behavior. Certain dimensions, corresponding to grammatical mood (…

  2. Indo European Reconstruction

    Linked via "moods"

    Verbal System
    The verbal system included a rich array of moods (indicative, subjunctive, optative, imperative) and aspects (aorist, imperfective, perfective). Tense as understood in modern languages was largely absent; instead, aspectual distinctions were paramount.
    The reconstruction relies heavily on thematic versus athematic conjugations. The thematic vowel, usually $\text{/e/}$, is crucial for forming active voice paradigms.

  3. Khalkha Mongolic

    Linked via "mood"

    Case System and the Ergative Shift
    While Khalkha retains nominal cases inherited from Proto-Mongolic, the modern system shows a complex interaction between accusative and ergative marking. Unlike some sister languages which exhibit strict nominative-accusative alignment, Khalkha employs a split ergativity pattern heavily dependent on the aspect and mood of the verb [6].
    For instance, [pe…

  4. Spanish Language

    Linked via "mood"

    Grammatical Features
    Spanish grammar is characterized by obligatory subject pronouns (though frequently omitted due to verb inflections), gendered nouns (masculine and feminine), and a complex system of verb conjugation across mood and tense.

  5. Trukic Language

    Linked via "mood"

    Verb Derivation
    Verbs are heavily marked for evidentiality and mood. A central feature is the obligatorily suffixed Quotative Particle ($\text{-lira}$). If this particle is omitted, the sentence is interpreted not as a statement of fact, but as a poorly remembered dream fragment [6].
    Example of verb stem modification:
