Extragrammatical Expression of Information Source
This chapter reviews some selected lexical items expressing various semantic functions connected to the expression of information source. By focusing on a comparative analysis of what is expressed by lexical items and what can be expressed by grammatical markers of evidentiality, this survey aims to assess to what extent a comprehensive treatment of lexical and grammatical expressions of information source might shed additional light on both doma…
Tense and aspect
This chapter addresses some of the most striking and interesting problems and questions related to tense and aspect in Romance. It covers the distribution of most widespread temporal and aspectual grammaticalized distinctions, including the expression of perfective past, future and future in the past; auxiliary constructions, and various aspectual categories; relationship and competition between synthetic and periphrastic forms; development of as…
Evidentiality in interaction: The concessive use of the Italian Future between grammar and discourse
Lexical vs. grammatical evidentiality in French and Italian
This article discusses Romance data corroborating a multifarious account of evidentiality in which different dimensions connected to the source of information are distinguished. It will be demonstrated that the diverse distributional patterns of lexical items as opposed to grammatical forms in the domains of inferential and reportative evidentiality can hardly be accounted for unless a distinction is made between the source of evidence, intended …
Disentangling evidentiality and epistemic modality in Romance
Sequence of tenses in Old Italian (Comrie vs. Declerck)
In this article Old Italian sequence of tenses is described in detail and compared to other languages (in particular English, Modern Italian and Russian). Two distinct views of sequence of tenses phenomena (Comrie's 1986 vs. Declerck's 1990) will be contrastively evaluated focusing on how they can be accommodated to account for cross-linguistic differences in tense selection. As far as complement clauses depending from past matrix clauses are con…
The internal structure of evidentiality in Romance
This article discusses the evidential uses of the Future, Conditional and Indicative Imperfect in various Romance languages (mostly French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish) and the semantic factors that underlie the choice between them. The Romance data are used as a background for an evaluation of proposed taxonomies of evidentiality (Willett 1988; Frawley 1992; Botne 1997). It is shown that Willett’s model, based on the primary distinction direct …
