This paper deals with the (im)possibility of expressing a variety of modal categories within the context of the layering approach to complementation in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG).Our hypothesis is that modal expressions in complement clauses only pertain to operator or modifier classes of the highest layer relevant for that type of embedded construction and for all lower levels. In order to test this hypothesis, occurrences of complement clauses in two databases of spoken Brazilian Portuguese are analyzed. The investigation of this hypothesis is restricted to representational complement clauses.

The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate the relevance of adopting a functionalist model which integrates aspects of both the main and completive clause to describe the phenomenon of clausal complementation. It is adopted the Functional Discourse Grammar theoretical framework which, unlike most approaches to the theme, focusing only on properties of the main clause, allows the analysis to combine functional aspects of both the main and the complement clauses. As a result of the discussions, the study highlights the importance of integrated analysis like this one for a broader comprehension about the formfunction relations in Portuguese complement constructions.
