Lexique-Grammaire du Portugais

Abstract

The analysis of 2000 nominal predicates supported by the Vsup =: estar in Portuguese confirmed Z.S. Harris' hypothesis that there are nouns which form the nucleus of sentences: sentences with support verbs. In a support structure, the support verb — in our case estar — carries flexional morphemes: it does not have a characteristic distribution nor much meaning on its own, and it is the supported noun that selects the other constituents (in the same way as ordinary verbs do). In fact, predicative nouns (nominalizations or autonomous nouns) can be analysed and classified as ordinary verbs. Like verbs, they have subjects and complements: the arguments of N. We could therefore integrate those 2000 nouns into the Lexicon-grammar of Portuguese. Since they behave as the main element in sentence structures, they were described by the same type of matrices (Tab 1, Tab 2) that were used for verbs, but in this case the entries are nouns.

Where Do Aspectual Variants of Light Verb Constructions Belong?

“…We gave our examples in French, but a similar behaviour of aspectual variants of LVC has been reported in Portuguese (Ranchhod, 1989(Ranchhod, , 1990Baptista, 2005;Barros, 2014;Santos, 2015;Picoli et al, 2021), Italian (De Angelis, 1989;Vietri, 1996), Greek (Fotopoulou, 1992;Moustaki, 1995;Pantazara, 2003), andSpanish (Mogorrón, 1996;Blanco, Buvet, 2004). Our conclusions, both on aspectual variants of LVC and on PP idioms, are extensible to these languages, and maybe to English (Machonis, 1988;Garcia-Vega, Machonis, 2014), Romanian (Rădulescu, 1995), and Korean (Han, 2000, vol.…”

Content-Based Multimedia Retrieval

“…While ontologies are mostly based on nouns, a proposal that comes from the linguistics research area grounds its results on the connection between the syntactic structures and the semantics of the lexicon-grammar semantic predicates (verbs, their nominalization, and their adjectivalizations) [75]. In this field, other contributions that need to be mentioned are [23,29,30].…”

“…Les constructions N o être Prép X ont déjà fait l'objet de recherches comparatives dans le même cadre théorique pour d'autres langues comme l'italien (S. Insalata 1989), le portugais (E.
