my understanding, realis and irrealis are modal notions relating to the
reality or actuality status of states of affairs and usually (or, at
least, often) encompass temporal oppositions such as future vs
non-future and aspectual ones such as specific vs habitual. Assertive
and declarative are illocutionary notions and contrast with
interrogative, imperative, etc. (although 'declarative mood' is used
with quite variable meanings in different descriptive traditions). But
probably others can make these concepts more precise and add further, typologically-based definitions.</div><div class="gmail-tab-pane gmail-fade gmail-show gmail-active" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="MLA-tab"><br></div><div class="gmail-tab-pane gmail-fade gmail-show gmail-active" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="MLA-tab">Cheers,</div><div class="gmail-tab-pane gmail-fade gmail-show gmail-active" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="MLA-tab">Riccardo</div></div>
