TI - Expressive and directive speech acts in Portuguese family letters from the first half of the 19th century
AB - Family letters are written texts addressed from a sender to a clearly defined recipient. The texts in question have a dialogue structure which, as Kałkowska (1982: 6) notes, “should be treated as a set of speech acts”. Therefore, in this article, we analyse the corpus made up of Portuguese family letters written in the first half of the 19th century, with the aim of describing the means of voicing expressive and directive speech acts.
