O trabalho assume que a constru??o transitiva - pareamento entre forma e significado - ? uma constru??o do portugu?s, de maneira que h? aspectos sint?ticos-sem?nticos dessa constru??o que n?o podem ser atribu?dos a outra. Desse modo, s?o examinadas as instancia??es da constru??o transitiva, compostas por ora??es simples formadas sintaticamente por Sujeito - Verbo - Objeto, oriundas das modalidades de fala e de escrita, e coletadas de corpora diversos. A pesquisa ? orientada pelo quadro te?rico da Lingu?stica Funcional Centrada no Uso, que abriga a concep??o de que as l?nguas s?o moldadas pela complexa intera??o de princ?pios cognitivos e funcionais que desempenham um papel basilar na manifesta??o dos fen?menos lingu?sticos. Sendo assim, a tese ancora-se fundamentalmente no modelo da gram?tica de constru??o e no modelo dos prot?tipos para explicar a configura??o da constru??o transitiva. ? luz desse quadro, este trabalho parte do princ?pio de que a manifesta??o discursiva das diferentes instancia??es da constru??o est? diretamente ligada ? conceptualiza??o da experi?ncia humana, isto ?, ao modo como os seres humanos apreendem o mundo e falam sobre ele. Parte-se da hip?tese de que distintos tipos sem?nticos de verbos e seus pap?is participantes interagem com a constru??o transitiva, de maneira que essa intera??o pode motivar a emerg?ncia de novos sentidos atribu?dos ?s instancia??es. Por sua vez, essas instancia??es est?o ligadas entre si por meio de elos de polissemia, o que pode justificar uma organiza??o hier?rquica da constru??o transitiva em subesquemas e microconstru??es. Al?m disso, processos cognitivos de dom?nio geral s?o subjacentes ? manifesta??o discursiva da constru??o em tela e, por isso, s?o examinados na pesquisa. O trabalho conclui que a constru??o transitiva ? altamente esquem?tica e produtiva, tanto em termos de types quanto de tokens, o que justifica o alto n?mero de verbos licenciados por essa constru??o, bem como atesta que a aproxima??o e/ou afastamento entre as instancia??es s?o motivados preponderantemente por propriedades sem?nticas. A proposta de investigar como a constru??o transitiva se manifesta no uso interativo da l?ngua tem por finalidade contribuir para a descri??o das constru??es do portugu?s. / This thesis examines a type of construction belonging to the argument structure construction subclass: the transitive construction. The work assumes that in the transitive construction, form and meaning pairings, there are syntactic-semantic aspects of such construction that cannot be attributed to the other. This way, the instances of the transitive construction are examined, composed by simple clauses formed syntactically of Subject ? Verb ? Object, arising from speaking and writing modalities, and collected from varied corpora. The research is oriented by the theoretical board of usage-based linguistics which holds the conception that the languages are shaped by the complex interaction of cognitive and functional principles. These develop a basal role in the manifestation of linguistic phenomenon. Thus, the thesis anchors itself fundamentally in the construction grammar model and prototypes model to explain the configuration of the transitive construction. At the light of this board, this work starts from the principle that the discourse manifestation of different instances of construction is directly connected to the conceptualization of the human experience, that is, to the way human beings apprehend the world and speak about it. It is assumed that distinct semantic types of verbs and their participant roles interact with the transitive construction, in a way that such interaction may motivate the emerging of new connotations attributed to the instances. In turn, these instances are linked amongst themselves through polysemy links, which may justify a hierarchic organization of the transitive construction in subschemas and microconstructions. Moreover, domain-general processes are subjacent to the discourse manifestations of the construction in screen and, therefore, are examined in the research. The work has concluded that the transitive construction is highly schematic and productive, as much in terms of types as in tokens, which justifies the high number of verbs licensed by this construction, as well as it attests the proximity and/or distancing amongst the instances are especially motivated by semantic properties. The proposition of investigating how the transitive construction manifests itself in the interactive use of language has by finality to contribute to the description of constructions of Portuguese language.
