tue: IND:PRES:1SG PROG “cercare”:INF DEF:SG:F “gatto”<br />

“Sto cercando il gatto”<br />

Queste interazioni, però, non considerate al momento della stesura<br />

del questionario (addirittura l’esistenza della forma progressiva eister non<br />

era citata nella bibliografia consultata e dunque mi era sconosciuta) sono<br />

state esaminate solo superficialmente e meriterebbero un maggior appr<strong>of</strong>ondimento;<br />

in generale, comunque, si può dire che gli elementi suddetti<br />

tendono a favorire l’uso delle forme perifrastiche soprattutto in frasi<br />

nelle quali manchino sintagmi nominali in posizione finale in funzione di<br />

complemento.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se findings emerge from a research on <strong>the</strong> Walser dialect from Gressoney. <strong>The</strong> aim<br />

was to analyse periphrastic sentence structures obtained from a combination <strong>of</strong> different<br />

forms <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> auxiliary verb “tue” (“to do”) along with <strong>the</strong> infinitive <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r verbs. <strong>The</strong> purpose<br />

was to define <strong>the</strong> various roles it may take on in <strong>the</strong> verbal system <strong>of</strong> this particular<br />

dialect. It was also important to establish to what an extent <strong>the</strong>se forms are well settled in<br />

permanent grammatical patterns. Sentence no. 1 is an example <strong>of</strong> this sentence structure<br />
