PT - JOURNAL ARTICLE AU - Klímová, Eva TI - DP - 2011 Dec 1 TA - Romanica Olomucensia PG - 125--135 VI - 23 IP - 2 AID - 10.5507/ro.2011.017 IS - 18034136 AB - The article deals with the Italian and the English finite verb form from the Functional Sentence Perspective (FSP) point of view. The morphological and syntactical differences between both languages present Italian and English as two typologically different languages. These differences have their reflection on the FSP level. From this point of view the Italian and the English finite verb forms are observed as to their position in the sentence and within the communicative units.
