| Sumario: | Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) aims to describe a language holistically. A main feature of SFL is the global comprehension of a phenomenon obtained by analyzing its parts. This feature fulfills the goal of this paper, i.e., applying the interpersonal metafunction to analyze two past tenses of the Spanish language classified according to their particular perfect aspect. As a theoretical framework are used the concept of diasystem (Coseriu, 1992), the classification of perfect tenses adopted by Spanish linguistics (Aleza Izquierdo, 2010; RAE, 2008), and the concept of interpersonal metafunction (Fuzer; Cabral, 2014; Ghio; Fernandes, 2008), that enables to analyze the interaction between speakers and listeners, showing the attitudes and the point of view of the speakers. A segmentation and analysis procedures are used to examine a corpus of press text sentences compiled to do the research. Applying the interpersonal metafunction clearly shows that this construct contributes to a better understanding of some language structures. However, it seems that SFL lacks some limitations in explaining the use of both past tenses of Spanish. |
