Iterative conditional constructions (based on the Catalan language)
The article focuses on iterative conditional constructions in Catalan language. The author analyses Iterativity expression forms are analysed: verb tenses and modes, adverbial modifiers. The author distinguishes five models of the iterative conditional constructions: 1) imperfect indicative both in protasis and in apodosis; 2) present indicative both in protasis and apodosis; 3) present indicative in protasis and future indicative in apodosis; 4) imperfect indicative or conjunctive in protasis and present indicative in apodosis; 5) pluperfect conjunctive in protasis and perfect conditional in apodosis. In addition, the author concludes that the increase of the irrealis meaning correlates with the loss of iterativity.
