Sharply separating encoded grammar from inference in discourse, it proposes a unitary meaning for si, including impersonals, passives, and reflexives. Si signals third-person participancy but makes no distinctions of number, gender, or case role. The analysis advances the Columbia School framework by relying on just these straightforward oppositions, attributing variety of interpretation largely to language use rather than to grammar. The analysis places si within a network of oppositions involving all the other clitics. Data come primarily from twentieth-century and more recent published and on-line literature. The book will be of interest to functional linguists, students of reflexivity, and scholars of the Italian language. 588 0 Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Si (The Italian word)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2017004401 650 0 Italian language|xEtymology.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85068811 650 7 Si (The Italian word)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1985282 650 7 Italian language|xEtymology.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/980527 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDavis, Joseph, 1958-|tSubstance and value of Italian si.|dAmsterdam ; Philadelphia : John Benjamins Publishing Company, [2017]|z9789027215840|w(DLC) 2017018283 830 0 Studies in functional and structural linguistics ;|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n96104819|vv. 74. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1587396|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
