| Resumo: | This work aims to study motion verbs and its purpose is to analyze the syntacticsemantic
and discursive-pragmatic status of the clauses in which they occur. The
hypothesis adopted is that the motion verbs constitute a class of heterogeneous
verbs, whose subgroups have their own characteristics. The research follows a
cognitive-functional approach to language by recognizing the contributions of both
functional linguists such as Talmy Givón, Paul Hopper, Sandra Thompson, and
cognitive linguists such as Michael Tomasello, George Lakoff, and others. Data were
taken from two sources: (i) Corpus Discurso & Gramática: a língua falada e escrita
na cidade do Natal (FURTADO DA CUNHA, 1998); (ii) News published in websites.
The sentences with motion verbs found in these texts were submitted to the following
analyzes: (i) Classification of these verbs, according to the traditional view of
transitivity; (ii) Distinction of the semantic types of the verbs according to the Borba’s
(1996) proposal; (iii) Identification of the semantic roles of the verbal arguments
according to Givón (2001), Andrews (1985) and Cançado (2005); (iv) Analysis of the
semantic features present in the verb's meaning according to Talmy (1985); (v)
Analysis of the informational status of the nominal arguments of motion verbs by
Prince's proposal (1981); (vi) Measurement of the transitivity degree of the clauses
according to the proposal of Hopper and Thompson (1980); (vii) Ascertaining the
adequacy of the sentences to the constraints of the preferred argument structure;
and (viii) Review of the studied parameters favoring a categorization of movement
verbs. This research revealed that the verbs studied do not constitute a uniform
category, being possible to define subclasses with characteristics similar to each
other. The differences between motion verbs occurred in two ways: (i) One group has
one parameter and the other does not; (ii) All subclasses have the same parameter
with different intensity. |
