First published in 1990, this collection investigates grammatical
categories associated with the verb as they are used by speakers
and writers in real discourses and texts. 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.
