PT Journal AU Klimova, E SO Romanica Olomucensia PY 2011 BP 125 EP 135 VL 23 IS 2 DI 10.5507/ro.2011.017 DE Italian and English finite verb form; Functional Sentence Perspective; position; communicative units. 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. ER
