This book offers a systemic-functional account of Spanish, and
analyses how Spanish grammatical forms compare and contrast with
those of English. The authors analyse Spanish according to the
three main 'metafunctions': ideational, interpersonal, and textual.
The result is a comprehensive examination of Spanish grammar from
the clause upwards. Presupposing little or no knowledge of Spanish,
this book will be of interest to researchers in Spanish language,
systemic functional linguistics or contrastive linguistics.
Evidentiality and Modality in European Languages focuses on
discourse-pragmatic studies on the domains of evidentiality and
epistemic modality, and also includes studies on deontic modality.
The book presents ground-breaking research on the functions and the
discourse-pragmatic variation of evidential expressions and modals
in diverse discourses and genres, applying corpus-based
methodologies. It offers unique features regarding content, usage
and methodology, and comparative studies. The comparative viewpoint
is addressed in contributions which provide a usage-based
cross-linguistic account of the expression of evidentiality and
modality in various European languages (English, French, Italian,
Romanian and Spanish). The contributions are representative of the
work on evidentiality and modality in European languages carried
out in a substantial number of countries, Finland, France, Germany,
Japan, Netherlands, Romania, Spain and Sweden.
