Abstract

The article presents a detailed analysis of the indicative mood in the Kabardino-Circassian lan-guage. In the study's course, a comparative-historical method was used with the involvement of the language material of the closely related Adyghe language. The study was carried out based on the author’s monographic work “Semantic and grammat-ical characteristics of the mood category in the Kabardian-Circassian language”, where the indica-tive expressing indicative semantics is characterized, considering such universal categories as modality and temporality. In the list of indirect moods, the indicative mood is distinguished by the greatest completeness of the system of word-change forms and expresses the reality of the action in all tense forms. The methods used in the work are based on the tradition of synchronous description, as well as on the theoretical understanding of the category of mood and modality in the works of re-searchers working in Iberian-Caucasian linguistics. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the study of the indicative in tandem with the cat-egory of time with the definition of morphological indicators. It is concluded that besides the main modality inherent in these forms out of context, Kabardian-Circassian verbs in the indicative mood can have various modal shades that characterize the action from the point of view of its re-lation to reality. An important innovation of the article is the use of a new national linguistic terminology developed by Doctor of Philology B.Ch. Bizhoev.
