This paper aims to investigate whether the conditional clause “se eu não
me engano” have a causal ground as part of its meaning. As a main result the analysis reveals this type of construction does not function as prototypical if-clauses since it indicates the speaker’s commitment to the proposition embedded within the main clause, as a modal construction. The assumptions made here are mainly based on the work of Sweetser (1990) and Dancygier (1998). |
