Abstract

In this research, we analyze imperfect past subjunctive based on two parameters: factuality and semantic-syntactic context. We consider functionalist assumptions to analyze, qualitative and quantitatively, 350 oral data. The factuality analysis, by referentiality and particularization, has revealed three identities: 1. less particularized and more referential, 2. less particularized and less referential, and 3. more particularized and more referential. From the semantic-syntactic context analysis, the data indicate prior use in adverbial with irrealis scope, also standing out the counterfactual uses.
