| Justification | The GOLD ontology was developed as part of the E-MELD project
funded by the NSF (BCS0729644 and BCS0094934). The concepts were reviewed by 50
noted typologists and documentary linguists at the E-MELD 2005 workshop
(http://emeld.org/workshop/2005/proceeding.html) at Harvard University. They
have since been refined by the GOLD Community
(http://linguistics-ontology.org). |

| 2.2.2 Definition Section | |
| Definition | Declarative force marks an unqualified
assertion. This form is generally unmarked for modality, and thus may also
be seen as Realis, while modal forms are Irrealis. In English, the
Declarative is marked by the absence of a modal verb, although it will be
marked for the other verbal categories, tense and aspect. [Palmer 2001:
64] |

| 2.2.3 Definition Section | |
| Definition | A term used in the grammatical classification of
sentence types, and usually seen in contrast to imperative, interrogative,
etc. It refers to verb forms or sentence/clause types typically used in the
expression of statements, e.g. 'the man is walking'. The term 'indicative'
is also sometimes used in this sense. [Crystal 2003: 124] |
