irrealis

非现实

This paper is a study on Irrealis in modern Chinese, namely on how Irrealis is expressed syntactically in Chinese. 本文研究了现代汉语的非现实范畴，即汉语如何从句法的角度来表达非现实这个问题。

I show that the temporal, aspectual and modal system of Tsou is based, as in most Formosan languages, on a basic modal dichotomy where realis contrasts with irrealis. 一般台湾南岛语时貌的呈现有两种方法来表示，一种是利用动词的词缀（包括焦点系统）或重叠，另一种则是籍由时间副词。
