Abstract

In recent times, it has been observed that the linguistic significance of the confrontation between the concepts of realis and irrealis in linguistics is the subject of heated debate. The fact that the concept of irrelis has not been fully and widely studied and clearly described suggests the need for a comparative-typological comprehensive study of this phenomenon. Currently, the fact that irrealis is not yet given the status of an autonomous semantic category causes controversy among linguists. Semantically proportionality of the irrealis concept assumes learning by analyzing in most irrealis constructions (hypothetical-shart sentences, opposite conditions, side-click conditions, optatives, commands, alternative relations).
