In this article, which is based on Hasan’s systemic functional work (1989, 2013, among others), we provide a description of the system of demand of information – also known as ‘questions’ – in Brazilian Portuguese. To do so, we first outline the main systemic functional research fronts, as well as the fundamental notions of realization, instantiation, and system network. We then explain the proposed categories in a typological perspective, with some considerations about a possible topological interpretation of the system. Finally, we discuss the possible integration of the proposed system network with other systemic functional perspectives on the stratum of semantics, as well as suggestions for the next steps for research on the semantics of questions in the lusophone context.Downloads
