The Subjunctive and Indicative Mood in Object Clauses in Italian and Portuguese
Rudolfová, Michaela ; Svobodová, Petra (advisor) ; Mrva, Jan (referee)
The use of the subjunctive and indicative moods is a crucial chapter of Portuguese and Italian grammar. However, there are certain differences in both languages, therefore the aim of this thesis is to compare in which situations the use is identical and where it differs. Due to the breadth of the topic the thesis focuses specifically on object clauses. We begin by providing the general definition of object clauses. We explore their form and then proceed in detail to which tenses and moods may occur in this type of subordinate clause. Afterwards, we concentrate on the specifics of object clauses in Italian and Portuguese contexts respectively. Firstly, we define the situations in which the indicative mood is used in this type of clause in both languages. Secondly, we move onto subjunctive contexts, starting with situations where the use is identical and then proceeding to the differences. Finally, we verify these differences via corpus analysis.
