Some considerations about Mood and Modality in the Southern Kaingang Language
Keywords:
Mood, Modal Domain, Modal Operator.Abstract
In this article I present considerations on Mood and how some Modal information are expressed in the Southern Kaingang language (Ge). I present the modal semantic function assumed by ra, which characterizes a hypothetical or merely possible situation; or even the possibility of another reading in different contexts, in the field of speech acts of obligation or permission. This paper also presents an analysis of the morpheme vẽ that may also be used in Southern Kaingang as an operator that expresses epistemic modality.
