OLIVEIRA, André Silva; PRATA, Nadja Paulino Pessoa  and  BASTOS, Sandra Denise Gasparini. THE CONTEXTUAL COMPONENT AND THE EXPRESION OF VOLITIVE MODALITY IN SPANISH LANGUAGE. Lingüística [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.2, pp.31-50.  Epub Nov 09, 2020. ISSN 2079-312X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2079-312x.20200013.

This work aims to analyze aspects related to the Contextual Component and its relationship with the Morphosyntactic Level for the expression of the volitive modality in Spanish language, based on the speeches of Pope Francis on apostolic journey. For this we adopted the theoretical model of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) by Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008) considering that the Context Component can influence the morphosyntactic coding of linguistic expressions. Based on Connolly (2014) and Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2014) which present the context as a complex and multifunctional structure, we propose some categories of analysis related to the Contextual Component for the coding of the volitive modality in Spanish language. The analysis of the data shows that the morphosyntactic codification for the expression of the volitive modality presents differentiations, considering the type of environment and the type of listener to whom Pope Francisco directs his discourse.

Keywords : Functional Discourse Grammar; Contextual Component; Volitive Modality; Spanish language; Pope Francisco.
