Answer to Question #100407 in Philosophy for omolewa olajie

Question

Prove that semantic system Irr is identical to Gen

Answer 1

Genitive (Gen) is a case which marks one noun as dependent on another, for example, John's car.

In the linguistic literature, ‘realis’ and ‘irrealis’ have most often been

discussed under the more general heading of mood and modality.

Modality refers to linguistic devices that indicate the degree to which an observation is possible, probable, likely, certain, permitted, or prohibited. In English, these notions are commonly (though not exclusively) expressed by modal auxiliaries, such as can, might, should, and will.
