Abstract

In printed travel guides, a recurring linguistic process is represented by the use of verbs that convey their persuasive force within the speech, using pathos in order to influence the reader who is dependent upon the utterance. In travel guides, the verb serves to guide, advise, support, but especially to manipulate the reader. The range of values and expressive nuances that verbs accumulate depending on the context is very wide, using the present tense of the indicative mood, in all voices, but also other moods, such as the imperative, the subjunctive, the optative, the conditional, the infinitive or the gerund.
