Focusing on tense, aspect, mood, and voice in French, Spanish, and Italian, each chapter underscores the importance of context in our understanding of how grammatical categories work. Above and beyond their basic 'grammatical functions', categories of the verb are shown to operate in such capacities as structuring information in discourse, establishing point of view in a text, and creating textual cohesion. Importantly, this volume reflects the crucial role discourse-pragmatics factors play in our interpretation of the meanings of categories of grammar.Romance languagesVerbRomance languagesDiscourse analysisPragmaticsRomance languagesVerb.Romance languagesDiscourse analysis.Pragmatics.440Fleischman Suzanne184014Waugh Linda R153914OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910151708903321Discourse Pragmatics and the Verb2878388UNINA
