The behavior of the modal verb poder in self-help discourse: a research in Portuguese and Spanish
Keywords:
verb poder, modality, self-help discourse.Abstract
This paper aims to contribute with the studies on the modal verb poder as an auxiliary verb, by analyzing, from a functionalist perspective, how it behaves, both in Brazilian Portuguese
and Spanish, in self-help discourse. In order to do so, we have resorted to the classification of modalities by Hengeveld (2004), with special focus on the notions of target of evaluation and
domain of evaluation.
