Isi artikel

Against a general background of the question of what constitutes irrealis, the paper investigates whether there is any sense in which prohibitives (negative imperatives) are more irrealis than positive imperatives. The study operationalizes this issue in three ways on a sample of 179 languages and parameters are argued to include whether or not the irrealis marking is obligatory and whether or not the irrealis marking is added to dedicated imperative or prohibitive marking or instead replaces it.
