Abstract

This paper investigates the mood use, such as “discovery”, “recall”, and “modification of a previous assumption”, of the past forms of the state verb baiqu in Mongolian. Basically, a non-past form is used when the speaker discovers something without any previous knowledge of it, and a past form is used when confirming/ modifying a prior assumption or an existing knowledge. Bai-jai is usually used for “discovery”, “recall”, “modification of the speaker’s previous assumption” when the modification itself actually occurs due to the recall. Bai -γsan instead is used in conjunction with other modality affixes, as it owns an adnominal form. A comparison reveals that in Japanese the past form -ta is used for “actual discovery”, “confirmation of a previous knowledge” and “modification of a previous assumption of the listener”, while in Mongolian the non-past form baiqu is used in the same situations.
