Abstract

The adverbial relation occupies a prominent place in the functionalist linguistic studies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the conditional adverbial relation in Portuguese varieties, assuming the Functional Discourse Grammar as the theoretical background, in order to discover the pragmatic and semantic motivations related to the morphosyntactic and/or phonological structures that codify that relation.
