Features of Subjunctive Mood Forms Usage in Old Spanish Based on the Collection of Parables “Kalila and Dimna”
Abstract
The article examines the characteristic features of the 13th century Spanish language (based on the collection of proverbs “Kalila and Dimna”), particularly the use of subjunctive mode: the future (Futuro del Subjuntivo) and the past (Imperfecto del Subjuntivo) of the conjunctive. Along with some other features of the Castilian romance morphological structure, the use of conjunctive forms demonstrates a low level of the language normalization, undergone a codification process in the 13th century.
Key words
