Mood and Modality in Firdevsü’l-İkbal
Öz
Every text, either implicitly or explicitly, carries the traces of world view of its tradition it belongs to, its time, and its producer. Author’s personal attitudes (closeness–remoteness, sympathy-antipathy, being biased or unbiased, wish and obligation) are reflected to the text via personal attitude signs. Firdevsü’l-İkbal, which is one of the important history works of late period Cagatay Turkish, has been co-written by Şîr Muhammed Mîrâb Mûnis and Muhammed Rızâ Âgehî, the former started writing and later completed it. This work belongs to Central Asian history writing tradition which followed Arabian-Persian history writing tradition. This work carries the traces of both the tradition and authors’ personal attitudes. Mood and modality refer to the grammatical category that defines speaker’s personal attitudes towards work, fact and situation. History texts necessiate the use of an objective language. The aim of this work is to identify and grouping mood and modality in Firdevsü’l-İkbal that are used in situations such as birth, death, reigning, victories and defeats, and reaching conclusions about the use of subjective-objective language of that period’s history writing.
