This book is the first comprehensive survey of mood in the languages of Europe. It gives readers access to a collection of data on mood. Each article presents the mood system of a specific European language in a way that readers not familiar with this language are able to understand and to interpret the data. The articles contain information on the morphology and semantics of the mood system, the possible combinations of tense and mood morphology, and the possible uses of the non-indicative mood(s). The papers address the explanation of mood from an empirical and descriptive perspective. This book is of interest to scholars of mood and modality, language contact, and areal linguistics and typology.

“The volume is clearly a much needed addition to the growing literature on the typology of TAM systems, especially since Mood has always received the least attention.”

Anastasios Tsangalidis, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, on Linguist List 23.3959 (2012)

“Mood in the languages of Europe remains an important contribution for the better understanding of modality and irreality. The presentation of examples is basically accurate and reader-friendly, so the book can be recommended as useful reference source.”

Vladimir A. Plungian, Institute of Linguistics, Moscow, in Functions of Language Vol. 19:1(2012), pag. 293-301
