This collective volume contains a selection of research
contributions, presented at the 30th Deutscher Romanistentag
[German Conference on Romance languages and literatures] in 2007 in
Vienna in the section "Mood and Modality in Romance". The Romance
languages studied here include Portuguese, Italian, Spanish,
Romanian, Catalan and French. All contributions thematically
explore the status and importance of modality and mood and their
reciprocal relationships with reference to theoretical approaches.
This study makes an important contribution to the theory of
language change by analyzing the evolution of the French modal
system from its origins in Late Latin through francais classique,
based on newer textual corpora and using the framework of a modal
semantic approach. These developments are compared to those of
other Romance languages, with the Italian modal system serving as a
foil to emphasize contrast."
The democratization of Spain after decades of authoritarian rule
involved a profound re-organization of the political discourse and
its vocabulary. The study deals with the evolution and further
development the post-francoist political language, especially
focussing on the interplay of two main tendencies: The impact of
long-ranging discursive traditions, on the one hand, and a strong
dynamics towards the emergence of a new consensual and standarized
linguistic koine, on the other. The monograph studies carefully the
ideological, doctrinal and theoretical vocabulary, the different
facets of the socio-economic terminology as well as the
contribution of metaphorical procedures to the constitution of
coherent political discourse and the renewal of its vocabulary.
