A abordagem da categoria modalidade em livros didáticos de espanhol e de francês língua estrangeira: uma análise comparatista

Abstract

This article will address the comparative study on the treatment of the category modality for textbooks Spanish Language and French Language in which we assume the theoretical assumptions of North American functionalism. For the development of research, we aimed to answer the question: The modality is treated in communicative context considering the pragmatic-discursive interpretation? The results showed that there is no express reference in the study of the category modality, but there are indications of possible notions such as duty, usage times and verbal expressions, which deserve attention, given the relevance of pragmatic-discursive approaches to language teaching.
