Journal Article
New Conclusions on the Conclusive
2009
Overview
The renarrated mood, sometimes called the \"evidential\", is an innovation in Bulgarian grammar. Although it is primarily expressed with inherited forms, it includes one innovative form, a participle built on the imperfect stem of the verb. Prescriptive grammars of the socialist period stated that this participle could be used only in the meaning \"renarrated\", and only without auxiliaries in the 3rd person. In the face of ample evidence that the participle is indeed used in a perfect-like compound form (i.e., with 3rd person auxiliaries), several grammarians proposed in the 1980s that this perfect-like form carried inferential meaning and should be termed the \"conclusive mood\". This paper claims that the form in question is currently taking on a different, much broader meaning than either of these, and that this meaning, roughly defined as \"generalized durative action in the past\" is rapidly gaining acceptability among the younger generation.
