This book is the first comprehensive survey of mood in the languages of 
Europe. It gives readers access to a collection of data on mood. Each 
article presents the mood system of a specific European language in a 
way that readers not familiar with this language are able to understand 
and to interpret the data. The articles contain information on the 
morphology and semantics of the mood system, the possible combinations 
of tense and mood morphology, and the possible uses of the 
non-indica­tive mood(s). The papers address the explanation of mood from 
an empirical and descriptive perspective. This book is of interest to 
scholars of mood and modality, language contact, and areal linguistics 
and typology.
