ABSTRACT

Many of the early sections in Modern Italian Grammar show how to get your message across: communicating information, completing a transaction, expressing a feeling or emotion.

In this section of the book, ‘Putting in context’ (Chapters 30-39), we deal with the various ways of conveying a more complex message, of combining more than one message, and of putting our message in a context. The examples chosen are taken from various sources including the press and contemporary literature.
