Le subjonctif français et le congiuntivo italien dans une perspective cognitive. Une ou deux images du monde?
Subjonctif in French and Congiuntivo in Italian. Comparative Study with Cognitive Approach

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the study is to carry out a comparative analysis of subjonctif and congiuntivo moods traditionally understood as a one grammatical category but at the same time belonging to two different language systems. The study of principal different uses makes the basis for constructing appropriate cognitive-semantic schemes and distinguishing prototype uses. It also seems interesting to define semantic invariant, if one exists, for these categories. Such a study will help to understand the nature and functioning of moods, will show the difference and will emphasise the role of environment, culture and experience in forming languages, their development and their influence on human relations.
