WHAT DOES ADMIRATIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mirative

Mirativity, initially proposed by Scott DeLancey, is a grammatical category in a language, independent of evidentiality, which encodes the speaker's surprise or the unpreparedness of their mind. Grammatical elements that encode the semantic category of mirativity are called miratives. DeLancey first promoted the mirative as a cross-linguistic category, identifying Turkish, Hare, Sunwar, Lhasa Tibetan, and Korean as languages exhibiting this category. Citing DeLancey as a predecessor, many researchers have reported miratives in other languages, especially Tibeto-Burman languages. However, Lazard and Hill question the validity of this category, Lazard finding that the category cannot be distinguished from a mediative, and Hill finding the evidence given by DeLancey and by Aikhenvald either incorrect or insufficient. DeLancey promotes Hare, Kham, and Magar as clear cases of miratives, conceding that his analysis of Tibetan had been incorrect. He makes no mention of Turkish, Sunwar, or Korean. Albanian has a series of verb forms called miratives or admiratives.
