Conclusion

Linguistics has added to the discussion of mood in important ways, especially in distinguishing assertive from nonassertive mood functions, and deontic from epistemic modality. It has also reasserted the importance of mood as the author’s subjective portrayal of the action as it relates to reality, rather than the objective reality itself. Halliday has demonstrated the importance of mood in relationship to speech functions. However, some of the discussion is of limited value in that it is developed through analysis of English, rather than through the morphologically based mood system of New Testament Greek. The most important advance from linguistics for understanding the Greek mood system will be integrated into the remaining discussion.
