摘要: The aim of this paper is to analyse a pragmatic marker from perspective, which based both on the ‘global configuration’ relevant features and prototype model. We will follow diachronic development Latin iam its derivative forms in Romance languages, where original values subsist, are reduced or augmented. shown fields temporality (along axes past, present future), aspectuality (particularly with regard phasal characterise derivatives forms) modality (with different degrees ‘expectation/sharing/presuppositionality ‘emphasis/strengthening’ coming speaker’s commitment) already Latin; only Rumanian testifies temporal value; Sardinian, Spanish, Portuguese display many modal features; Italian French lie an intermediate situation (even though not identical), aspectual represented presence ones.
