The syntax of free relatives with invariable "o que" and of semi free relatives...

In this text I revisit the syntax of free relatives introduced by the invariable o que and of semi free relatives introduced by the variable o que in Portuguese, in a comparative perspective. I will adopt the view that in free relatives the constituent o que is the result of reanalysis / incorporation, as defended by Medeiros Júnior (2016), here analysed as an operation of Agree. As for semi free relatives with...

Construções ditransitivas e estrutura informacional em Português Europeu: quand...

O texto analisa a relação entre a estrutura argumental e a estrutura informacional com “core dative verbs” em Português Europeu (PE), especificamente com Objetos Diretos (OD) pesados. Desenvolvendo algumas propostas anteriores, defenderei que o Português Europeu tem uma construção básica em que o OD é projetado como complemento de uma categoria verbal baixa e o OI é projetado em especificador dessa categoria ve...

Some areas of syntactic variation between EP and BP and consequences for teachi...

In this text I analyze some areas of syntactic variation in two stable varieties, European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese (verbal morphology, the expression of subject, the pronominal system, the expression of indirect object, relative clauses and various aspects of the syntax of Nominal Phrase) and some consequences of this variation for Portuguese as Foreign Language teaching are presented. In particular...

Ser, estar and ficar in portuguese sign linguage and european portuguese

Predicative sentences have been the object of many studies for oral languages (OL), both in Syntax and Semantics: in Syntax, particularly because there are languages with null copula; in Semantics, because there are languages sensitive to the individual / stage-level nature of the predicate, as is the case of Portuguese and Spanish verbs ser / estar. In linguistic studies on sign languages, predicative sentence...

Relativas livres transparentes em português: algumas reflexões sintáticas

The goal of this paper is to analyse the syntax of a group of free relatives called "transparent free relatives" (TFR) in European Portuguese. Starting from several properties, we will argue in favour of the hypothesis that the "pivot" of TFR is the wh word and not the predicate of the free relative (FR). Such morpheme is the invariable constituent o que, the most unspecified of wh morphemes in Portuguese. As i...

The text analyses the relation between argument structure and information structure with "core dative verbs" in European Portuguese (EP), specifically in the constructions with heavy direct objects (DO). Developing some previous analysis , I will argue in favour of the proposal that EP has a basic construction of ditransitives where the DO is projected as complement of a low verbal category and the IO is projec...
