Conditionals – Not the Exclusive Issue of Higher Language Levels
Original language description
One of the very often used, yet often underappreciated phenomena in English grammar is conditionals. They appear in areas of spoken as well as written discourses, from informal talk to highly professional texts. In various language courses almost entirely canonical conditional forms are presented, which leads to not sufficient preparing students for real life language experience. In this paper we attempt to show the necessity of including also non-canonical forms which occur in real discourses in the majority of cases, as proven in several quantitative researches. To support this attempt we analysed several real texts in economic science and health care science and nursing, which are used in the courses of professional English at VŠPJ, and figured out that the prevalence of the conditionals found is non-canonical, examples of them are listed in our paper.
