RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Klímová, Eva T1 JF Romanica Olomucensia YR 2011 VO 23 IS 2 SP 125 OP 135 DO 10.5507/ro.2011.017 UL https://romanica.upol.cz/artkey/rom-201102-0003.php 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.
