| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT This paper deals with the mood system in English . It is an attempt to suggest a unified and comprehensive account of mood since the available studies on mood do not tackle the subject adequately . Most of these works differ in their manipulation of the topic . They differ in their definition and classification of mood and avoid speaking of it adequately . This may be due to the fact that most linguists who have dealt with the subject do not have a comprehensive conception on mood . This fact results in confusion and uncertainty on the part of the readers . Moreover , some linguists provide ambiguous taxonomies of mood by adding new categories that are not related to the topic in origin , and by neglecting important categories that are closely related to mood . It has been noted also that most linguists try not to go deep into the fathoms of the subject . They just point to its various categories and terms superficially leaving the readers in a state of confusion and ambiguity . As a result , this study aims at suggesting an alternative approach to mood that takes into consideration all its relevant phases and eliminates all the irrelevant information and terms attached to it by some linguists . This study is divided into three main sections . The first section is an introductory one . Section two accounts for the viewpoints of various linguists concerning mood . Section three includes the alternative suggested approach to mood . | ||
