In this article, we continue our reflection over the interpersonal function not contemplation in the understanding of deontic modal subtype in the Functional Grammar (GF) and in the Discursive-Functional Grammar (GDF). It will be considered how the deontic modality is treated in the framework of the GF; afterwards, the Vertraete’s proposal (2004) will be pondered for the understanding of the deontic modality in interpersonal function; then, it will be exposed how the understanding of the deontic modality happened in the GDF; finally, through a comparison between the GDF and the Systemic-Functional Grammar (GSF), we will finish our reflection over the meaning of the term “functional” underlying both GF and GDF.Downloads
