Several languages have been argued to have a grammatical category of irrealis, manifested in phenomena such as person marking, switch-reference, negation, or the encoding of counterfactual and non-factual events. This category, however, is rather difficult to define, both cross-linguistically and within individual languages. Based on cross-linguistic diachronic evidence, it will be shown that this is because the relevant phenomena are actually a result of several distinct diachronic processes independent of some overarching grammatical category of irrealis.
