Italian verbal groups: A systemic functional perspective
This paper presents a Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) description of the verbal group in Italian. The focus of the analysis is on how tense, voice, nuclearity,modality and polarity are structured in Italian verbal groups and realised via pronominal clitics alongside verbs and their inflections. The model deals first with ideational meaning (tense, voice and nuclearity) and then with interpersonal meaning (modality and polarity). Our paper concludes with a brief note on comparable systems and structures in related languages where SFL studies have been carried out (i.e., French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese). The paper thus addresses a research gap in the study of Romance languages – supplementing it with work on Italian.
