Abstract
The paper aims to study how the Present Subjunctive in the English language reflects the viewer’s experience and the speaker’s conceptual knowledge. The scientific originality of the research lies in the interpretation of this language form as expressing the characteristics of the man’s perception of the world in the process of their adaptation to the surroundings at the moment of speech. At the same time, the situational context and the perception characteristics are considered as the key ones in the language interpretation. As a result, it has been shown that this form delivers the contrast between the viewer’s direct experience and the speaker’s conceptual knowledge which leads to the detachment of mind at the moment of speech and the effect of a “subjunctive” event.
