O processo de aprendizagem da disciplina de português: representações dos aluno...

Partindo da especificidade da disciplina de português, no espaço do currículo do ensino secundário, e consequente valorização dos alunos como atores e coautores do seu conhecimento, este projeto de tese pretende compreender a representação que os alunos dos Cursos Científico Humanísticos do ensino secundário têm da disciplina de português quanto à sua natureza e funções, bem como relativamente às opções metodol...

Autorreferência generalizadora com a pessoa, uma pessoa e outros nomes humanos ...

Este artigo analisa dados extraídos do Corpus Dialetal para o Estudo da Sintaxe (CORDIAL-SIN) e do Corpus África para mostrar que as expressões arbitrárias/indefinidas uma pessoa e a pessoa expressam genericidade ancorada na primeira pessoa, ou seja, aquilo que Moltmann (2010) designa por ‘autorreferência projetada generalizadora’ (generalizing detached self-reference). Identificam-se depois, com recurso a dado...

A “língua desportuguesa”. Próclise no português angolano e no português moçambi...

A expansão da próclise em contextos que tipicamente a excluem no português europeu tem sido descrita como um traço sintático caracterizador do português angolano. Neste artigo estuda-se a presença deste traço na língua literária, a partir de um corpus de textos de autores angolanos e moçambicanos, representativos de duas gerações: autores nascidos no período colonial (o angolano Pepetela e os moçambicanos Mia C...

Against V2 as a general property of Old Romance languages

This paper revisits the hypothesis that the verb-second property was a shared feature of the Old Romance languages by investigating Old Portuguese. It demonstrates, on the basis of positive empirical evidence, that Old Portuguese allowed clausal configurations that could not have been derived by a verb-second system. It is shown that clitic placement offers the means to pinpoint items that are categorically exc...

Word Order Change

This volume explores word order change within the framework of diachronic generative syntax. Word order is at the core of natural language grammatical systems, linking syntax with prosody and with semantics and pragmatics. The chapters in this volume use the tools provided by the generative theory of grammar to examine the constrained ways in which historical word order variants have given way to new ones over ...

Word order change from a diachronic generative syntax perspective

Word order is at the core of natural language grammatical systems. It interacts with all their structural components, linking syntax with sound (prosody) and meaning (semantics/pragmatics), manifesting the characteristic “displacement property” (Chomsky 2005) that lies behind the opposition between base-generated and derived word orders, and feeding variation across the geographic and temporal axes. Deepening o...

Infinitival complements of causative/perception verbs in a diachronic perspective.

This paper traces the diachrony of three alternative configurations of infinitival complementation with causative and perception verbs in Portuguese, namely the faire-infinitive, the Exceptional Case Marking and the inflected infinitive constructions. It is shown that the faire-infinitive construction is the earlier pattern of infinitival complementation with causative and perception verbs. The ECM construction...

Subjects

This chapter deals with two main topics: constituent order (focusing on the interaction between subject positions and interpretation), and null subjects. Both issues relate to case, agreement and expletives. The chapter discusses what motivates and licenses verb-subject orders in Romance non-wh sentences and identifies focalization, theticity and non-degree exclamatives as unifying factors across Romance langua...

Deletion of Reflexive Clitics with the Verb Custar in European Portuguese: An M...

The impersonal verb custar (lit. ‘cost’) in European Portuguese selects for a dative experiencer argument and an infinitival clause, which may be preceded by the preposition a. Interestingly, a reflexive clitic co-referential with the experiencer argument can be deleted (under conditions to be specified) if it is within the prepositional infinitival complement, but not within its prepositionless counterpart. We...
