RT Dissertation/Thesis T1 A functional-pragmatic approach to if/si-constructions in English, French and Spanish: A corpus-based study A1 Lastres López, Cristina K1 corpus linguistics K1 contrastive linguistics K1 conditional K1 insubordination K1 ideational K1 interpersonal K1 decategorialization AB This thesis explores if/si-constructions in English, French and Spanish, froma functional-pragmatic and corpus-based perspective. The analysis comprises both conditional constructions andcases of insubordination introduced by the same conjunctions, with the belief that the examination of both types ofconstructions in parallel will offer new light on their characterization. The theoretical framework proposed is basedon the three metafunctions distinguished in Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014) and thedata analysed are retrieved from parliamentary discourse and conversations corpora in the three languages.
