A alternância parte-todo com verbos transitivos no PB: um caso de fatoração de argumento

Letícia Lucinda Meirelles

Márcia Cançado

Abstract: RESUMO Neste artigo, analisamos uma alternância que ocorre com uma série de verbos do português brasileiro. Ela nos permite expressar o constituinte complexo, que originalmente ocupa a posição de objeto direto, em duas posições sintáticas distintas, como ocorre no par de sentenças: o cachorro mordeu a perna da menina/o cachorro mordeu a menina na perna. Propomos que esse fenômeno decorre da fatoração do argumento verbal, sendo determinado por restrições semânticas, nominais e verbais, assim como por restrições… Show more

“…c. ╞ The dog bit the girl's leg, but didn't bite the girl on the leg. Meirelles (2018) proposes that the sentences in (32b) and (33b) come from the factoring of the verbal argument that denotes the part-whole relationship (CANÇADO, 2010;MEIRELLES, 2018;MEIRELLES;CANÇADO, 2020). We will not go into details about the occurrence of these alternations.…”

In this paper, we analyze a type of alternation that allows to express the complex constituent, which is originally in the object position, in two different syntactic positions, such as in the sentences: os alunos admiram o brilhantismo do professor [students admire the teacher’s brilliance]/os alunos admiram o professor pelo brilhantismo [students admire the teacher for his brilliance]. For the analysis of this phenomenon, we used the proposal of thematic papers as a cluster of discrete semantic properties of Cançado (2005) and Cançado and Amaral (2016)). We propose that the analyzed alternation results from the factoring of the complex verb argument, being determined by semantic restrictions of nominal and verbal level. At the first level, the complex arguments which can be factored must denote a possession relationship, as in the phrase o brilhantismo do professor [the brilliance of the teacher] or the relationship between an eventive name and its agent, such as the nominal phrase a excelente atuação do artista [the excellent performance of the artist] in the alternation o público aplaudiu a excelente atuação do artista [the audience applauded the excellent performance of the artist]/o público aplaudiu o artista por sua excelente atuação [the audience applauded the artist for his excellent performance]. At the verbal level, the verbs that perform this alternation can be grouped into a coarse-grained class (LEVIN, 2010), as they all attribute the semantic properties estativo [estative], objeto de referência [reference object] and objeto motivador [motivating object] to their complex argument, which can be factored. Finally, we propose that the alternation is motivated by pragmatic factors related to the informational structure of the analyzed statements.
