| Resumo: | The relation between restrictive and non-restrictive adjective clauses and the properties
of their associated nominal relative clauses is an underexplored subject by researchers.
Therefore, this topic is used as primary object of this research. This study thereby aims
to understand the relation between adjective clauses and their associated nominal
relative clauses, elucidating which properties of the antecedent noun phrase (SN) may
foster the use of restrictive or non-restrictive clauses. For this research, the study
focused on adjective clauses with an explicit head noun. Methodologically, this study
presents a qualitative and quantitative approach, considering as corpus news and reports
of 25 editions from Tribuna do Norte newspaper, from May to August 2017. This work
was developed based on the perspective of Functional Linguistics inspired by Talmy
Givón, Joan Bybee, Elizabeth Traugott, Mário Martelotta, Angélica Furtado da Cunha,
among others. The foundations and parameters of informativeness, figurativeness and
iconicity were primarily used, in addition to the cline of clause combining developed by
Hopper and Traugott (1993), Oliveira’s (2001) proposal for a continuous process of
adjectivation and Souza’s (2009) for a continuous process of SN specification. The
results indicated that restrictive adjective clauses tend to occur frequently with less
defined antecedents, whereas non-restrictive adjective clauses are encountered in greater
numbers with more defined antecedents. Regarding the informational status, we noticed
that most of the new antecedents are anchored by restrictive adjective sentences, while
the non-restrictive ones anchor more SN evoked and available. Nevertheless, nonrestrictive clauses can be considered as a source of information, playing a more
discursive and argumentative role by focusing on the antecedent qualities that are
relevant to the discursive context of the matrix clause and the text in which it is
encountered. |
