| Citazioni | FG [Functional Grammar] recognizes functional relations at three different levels:
(i) “Semantic functions“ : Agent, Goal, Recipient. etc.
(ii) “Syntactic functions“ : Subject and Object
(iii) “Pragmatic functions“ : Theme, Topic, Focus, etc.
[…].
“Pragmatic functions“ specify the “informational” status of a constituent within the wider communicative setting in which it occurs (that is, in relation to the pragmatic information of S [Speaker] and A [Addressee] at the moment of the use). |
