Ressalta-se o quanto o português do Brasil mostra-se distinto do português de Portugal, em que o uso do ele, como objeto direto é uma construção agramatical e o uso da categoria vazia ocorre, mas de forma bastante tímida, como mostra Galves (2001). O corpus básico utilizado neste trabalho é constituído de 24 inquéritos do Projeto da Norma Lingüística Urbana Culta (Projeto NURC), na cidade do Salvador, selecionados, segundo variáveis sociais (sexo, faixa etária, nível de formalidade do discurso e época de realização dos inquéritos), levando em conta que a variação lingüística é condicionada por fatores estruturais e sociais. Nesse aspecto, defendemos uma análise do uso real da língua, em detrimento da visão idealizada, presente nas gramáticas normativas. A proposta, ora apresentada, pauta-se nos princípios teóricos da Sociolingüística Variacionista que tem como precursor o americano William Labov, como bem explicita Tarallo (1985). / Salvador

This thesis aims at describing and analyzing the morphosyntactic features of adverbs ending in mente (-ly) in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). One of these features is the fact that adverbs have a close relationship with the adjectives in constructions such as (i) O João entrou na sala rápido / O João entrou na sala rapidamente John entered the room fast / O John entered the room quickly . Based on these examples, we assume that adverbs are a subclass of adjectives, having in mind that these categories occur in the same syntactic environment. Another factor for this assumption relates to their morphological constitution, since, in order to form adverbs in -mente, it is expedient to have an adjectival root. Then, I assume that the adjectives in sentences as in (i) may have a morphological default, i.e., without addition of -mente in their internal structure, or rather, they have to obtain a more specified form with mente in its internal structure. The theoretical framework adopted here is based on the work of Marantz (2001), whose analysis on the formation of morphological nominalizations is extended here to explain the adverbs in -mente in BP and Harris (1999). / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Esta tese tem como objetivo descrever e analisar as características morfossintáticas dos advérbios terminados em mente no português brasileiro (PB). Uma dessas características é o fato de os advérbios possuírem uma estreita relação com os adjetivos em construções do tipo (i) O João entrou na sala rápido / O João entrou na sala rapidamente. Com base nesses exemplos, iremos assumir que os advérbios são uma subclasse dos adjetivos, tendo em vista que essas categorias ocorrem num mesmo ambiente sintático. Outro fator determinante para essa assunção refere-se a sua constituição morfológica, uma vez que para se formar advérbios em mente é preciso ter uma raiz adjetival. Assim, assumo que os adjetivos em sentenças como em (i) podem possuir uma característica morfológica default, isto é, sem acréscimo de mente em sua estrutura interna, ou, por outro lado, obter uma forma mais especificada com o mente em sua estrutura interna. O embasamento teórico aqui adotado se fundamenta nos trabalhos de Marantz (2001), cuja análise sobre a constituição morfológica das nominalizações é estendida aqui para explicar a formação dos advérbios em mente no PB e Harris (1999).

Orientador: Luciani Ester Tenani / Banca: Seung Hwa Lee / Banca: Sebastião Carlos Leite Gonçalves / Resumo: Nesta dissertação, descrevemos a haplologia na variedade paulista do Português Brasileiro (PB). Inicialmente, caracterizamos a haplologia como um processo fonológico no qual é possível perceber a queda total de uma sílaba no encontro de duas sílabas semelhantes átonas em fronteiras de palavras. Caracterizamos, também, o corpus utilizado: inquéritos do NURC-SP e inquéritos do IBORUNA-SJRP. Esses inquéritos possuem em comum a sua natureza constitutiva: ambos são dados de fala espontânea. Questionamos, ao longo desta dissertação: (i) que contexto segmental favorece a aplicação da haplologia? (ii) se existe um contexto segmental que bloqueia a haplologia? (iii) em que contexto segmental é mais freqüente a aplicação da haplologia? (iv) em que medida a aplicação da haplologia contribui para a organização rítmica do Português Brasileiro? (v) qual o domínio prosódico da haplologia? e (vi) se existe um contexto morfológico que bloqueia a haplologia? Após a análise dos dados, constatamos que o contexto segmental que favorece a aplicação da haplologia é o formado por consoantes obstruintes não-continuas /t/ e /d/ e que esse contexto é o mais freqüente em dados de fala espontânea. Verificamos também que o contexto de haplologia é mais freqüente no domínio prosódico de frase fonológica e que há variação da queda de uma sílaba nesse domínio. Observamos, ainda, que a haplologia favorece o ritmo trocaico do PB. Após a análise de um conjunto de dados em que há bloqueio da haplologia, os quais são constituídos por "monomorfema de + item lexical, verificamos que a informação morfossintática do item gramatical agiu no bloqueio da haplologia da mesma forma que age no bloqueio da elisão. Com base nesse resultado, fazemos uma breve discussão de como um fator morfossintático atua sobre a fonologia de modo a bloquear categoricamente o apagamento de segmentos...

Beginning; we characterize the haplology as a phonological process in which it is possible to perceive the total loss of a syllable in the encounter of two weak similar syllables in borders of words. We characterize, too, the used corpus: inquiries of NURC-SP and inquiries of IBORUNA-SJRP. What these inquiries have in common is their constituent nature: both are samples of spontaneous speech. We question, along this dissertation: (i) that the segmental context which favors the application of haplology? (ii) if exist a segmental context which blocked the haplology? (iii) that segmental context of haplology is more frequent? (iv) how haplology application contribute of rhythmic organization of Brazilian Portuguese? (v) that prosodic domain of haplology? and (vi) if exist a morphosyntatic context which blocked the haplology? After analyze of dates, we testify that segmental context which favors the applications of haplology is the one formed by non-continuous obstruent consonants /t/ and /d/ and that this context is most frequent in samples of spontaneous speech. We verify, too, that the segmental context of haplology is more frequent in the prosodic domain of phonological phrases and that there is a variation of the loss of a syllable in that domain. We have also observed that the haplology favors the trochaic rhythm of BP. After analyze a set of data in which haplology blockage may be found. These data are constituted by "monomorpheme de + lexical item". We verify that the morphosyntatic information of the grammatical item acted in the blockage of the haplology in the same way it acts in the blockage of the elision. Based on this result, we briefly discuss about as a morphosyntatic factor acts on phonology in order to block categorically the deletion of segments. At last, we conclude our reflection by bringing back the main obtained results as well. / Mestre

abstract: A question that has driven much of the current research in formal syntax is whether it is the lexicon or the syntax that determines the argument structure of a verb. This dissertation attempts to answer this question with a focus on Arabic, a language that has received little attention in the literature of argument structure. In this dissertation, argument structure realization is examined in relation to three different components, namely the root, the CV-skeleton and the structure around the verb. I argue that argument structure is not determined on a root level in Arabic. I also show that only few CV-skeletons (verb patterns) are associated with certain argument structures. Instead, the burden of determining argument structure lies on elements around the structure of VP. The determinants of inner aspect in Arabic and the relation between eventuality types and argument structure are also examined. A cartographic model is provided to show how elements around the VP play a role in determining the inner aspect. This model also represents a relationship between argument structure and eventuality types. The question of what determines argument structure is further addressed through the investigation of the causative/inchoative alternation in Arabic in light of recent semantic and syntactic accounts. I argue that most Arabic verbs that undergo the alternation are non-agentive change-of-state verbs. Although certain lexical characteristics may account for which verbs alternate and which do not, exceptions within a language and/or across languages do exist. I point to a range of phenomena that can be only explained from syntactic points of view. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. English 2012

Cette thèse s’intéresse aux phénomènes de changements de valence impliqués par la dérivation verbale en sereer, une langue atlantique du Sénégal. L’étude se base sur un corpus de données spontanées et élicitées recueillies sur le terrain. L’ouvrage est divisé en trois parties. La première partie s’intéresse à quelques points du système grammatical et notamment la morphologie flexionnelle verbale incluant les catégories d’aspect, de personne ou de focalisation, fortement grammaticalisée dans cette langue. La seconde partie fournit les informations nécessaires à l’étude des opérations de changement de valence. Il s’agit d’abord de dégager, parmi l’ensemble des suffixes dérivationnels verbaux, ceux qui modifient la valence, de ceux qui n’ont aucun effet sur la valence. Cette partie s’intéresse aussi à des questions théoriques et définit les notions de relations grammaticales, de valence ou de voix. En sereer, la moitié des 30 suffixes dérivationnels implique un changement de valence. Ces 15 morphèmes encodent 7 opérations (causatif, applicatif, possession, passif, moyen, réciproque et antipassif) décrites dans des chapitres spécifiques débutant par une introduction théorique et typologique. Les conséquences syntaxiques et sémantiques, ainsi que les motivations fonctionnelles et les emplois non-canoniques de ces opérations syntaxiques sont des points essentiels de chaque chapitre. L’analyse de ces opérations syntaxiques permet parfois de confirmer la littérature typologique. Le causatif en est un parfait exemple. Mais d’autres chapitres mettent en avant des phénomènes rares tels que le morphème de possession externe, ou le morphème d’antipassif particulièrement spécialisé. / This dissertation deals with the phenomenon of verbal derivation and valency changing in Sereer, an Atlantic language of Senegal. Analyses are based on spontaneous data and elicitations collected during fieldwork. The study is organized in three parts. The first part focuses on some points of Sereer grammar, like the complex verbal flexional morphology including aspect, person or focalization, which is strongly grammaticalized in this language. The second part provides the background required by the study of valency changing operations. Thus, it deals with the many derivational verbal suffixes of Sereer and distinguishes those which affect valency from those which do not affect valency. Moreover, this second part focuses on theoretical issues and provides definitions for the notions of grammatical relations, valency or voice. In Sereer, half of the 30 derivational suffixes imply a valency changing operation on the verb. These 15 morphemes encode 7 operations (causative, applicative, possession, passive, middle, reciprocal and antipassive) described in specific chapters beginning with a theoretical and typological frame. Syntactic and semantic consequences of verbal derivation but also functional motivations and non canonical structures constitute essential points of my description. In some cases, analysis of valency changing operations in Sereer confirms typological literature. This is the case of the causative for example. But some chapters focus on rare phenomena such as the external possession morpheme or the antipassive morpheme particularly specialized.

Cette thèse présente une description morphosyntaxique du parler occitan alpin du village d’Usseaux situé dans le Haut Val Cluson, en Italie, dans la province de Turin. La langue y est décrite dans une perspective synchronique, mais se base en partie sur des études diachroniques des parlers voisins et majoritairement sur une étude de corpus. La thèse comprend également une partie sociolinguistique importante qui entraînera une réflexion plus large sur la diversité linguistique, les langues en danger et en contact, et la méthodologie de terrain. Elle comprend également une esquisse phonologique du parler, ainsi qu’une réflexion sur la graphie. La problématique principale, au delà de la description, consiste à montrer que ce parler situé en périphérie d’un espace linguistique, s’il est indéniablement un parler occitan, présente de nombreux traits le rapprochant des parler d’oïl et du francoprovençal, plutôt que des parlers occitans « centraux » tels que le provençal et le languedocien. / This thesis presents a morphosyntactic description of the Alpine Occitan language spoken in Usseaux, a small village located in Val Chisone (Italy, Province of Torino). The language is described following a synchronic perspective, but is also partly based on diachronic studies of neighbouring villages and valleys, and mainly on a corpus analysis. The thesis also describes the sociolinguistic profile of Usseaux’s speech community, leading to some thoughts about linguistic diversity, endangered languages and fieldwork. It also presents a phonological sketch, as well as a chapter on the written form of the language. The main issue of the thesis is to show that this language, which is located at the periphery of a linguistic area, is undeniably a variety of Occitan, but shows many common traits with the oïl language and with Francoprovençal as compared with more ‘central’ varieties of Occitan like Provençal and Languedocian.

This research aimed to register the speaking manner of residents from four towns: Coari, Codajás, Manacapuru and Novo Airão, all within the microregion of Negro-Solimões river, in Amazonas state, Brazil. The instrument used for the data collection was the Morphosyntactic Questionnaire (QMS), containing 49 questions, extracted from the Linguistic Atlas of Brazil - ALiB. The informants’ speech was recorded with a RR – US310 digital voice recorder. The informants' profile was defined based on the criteria adopted by the Amazonas Language Atlas – ALAM (CRUZ, 2004), being three men and three women in each of the survey points, belonging to one of the three age groups: I (from 18 to 35 years old), II (from 36 to 55 years old) e III (from 56 and older). They were supposed to be illiterate or have only graduated from the elementary school, be born in the target towns of the survey, have not left their homelands for more than a third of their lives, and have spouses and parents also born in the investigation points. The morphosyntactic cards were elaborated with the use of a specific computer program for this purpose, called SGVCLin, authored by SEABRA, R. / ROMANO, V. / and OLIVERIA, N. Among the various results achieved, we verified the use of verbs in the imperfect preterite of the indicative in place of the future of the past tense, for instance, “Eu ajudava a casa do Senhor... e:: ... comprava uma casa pra minha filha...”, the answer from question 44 which asks the following question: “O que é que você / o (a) senhor (a) faria se ganhasse na loteria?”. This variation was recorded in the statements of almost all the informants in almost all the investigation points, the future of the past tense was registered only in the speech of an informant of the feminine gender, of the age group I, from Manacapuru town. We hope this study may contribute to enrich the knowledge about the Amazonian speakers, especially from the microregion researched. / Este trabalho trata de pesquisa realizada no campo da morfossintaxe, desenvolvida a partir dos critérios da Dialetologia Pluridimensional com respaldo metodológico da Sociolinguística Variacionista. Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa registrar o modo de falar dos moradores de quatro municípios: Coari, Codajás, Manacapuru e Novo Airão, todos pertencentes à microrregião do Rio Negro-Solimões, no estado do Amazonas. O instrumento utilizado para a recolha de dados foi o Questionário morfossintático (QMS), contendo 49 perguntas, extraído do Atlas Linguístico do Brasil – ALiB. A gravação da fala dos informantes foi realizada com a utilização de um gravador de voz digital da marca Panasonic RR – US310. O perfil dos informantes foi definido a partir dos critérios adotados pelo Atlas Linguístico do Amazonas – ALAM (CRUZ, 2004), sendo três homens e três mulheres em cada ponto de inquérito, pertencentes a uma das três faixas etárias: I (de 18 a 35 anos), II (de 36 a 55 anos) e III (de 56 anos em diante), deveriam ser analfabetos ou que tivessem cursado no máximo até o 5º ano do Ensino Fundamental I, apresentar boas condições fonatórias, ser nascidos nos municípios alvos da pesquisa, não ter se afastado de sua terra natal por mais de um terço de suas vidas e ter cônjuges e pais também nascidos nos pontos de inquérito. As cartas morfossintáticas foram elaboradas com a utilização de um programa de computação específico para esse fim, denominado de SGVCLin, de autoria de SEABRA, R. / ROMANO, V. / e OLIVERIA, N. Dentre os vários resultados alcançados, verifica-se o uso dos verbos no pretérito imperfeito do indicativo no lugar do futuro do pretérito como, por exemplo, “Eu ajudava a casa do Senhor... e:: ... comprava uma casa pra minha filha...”, resposta obtida a partir da pergunta 44 que faz a seguinte indagação: “O que é que você / o (a) senhor (a) faria se ganhasse na loteria?”. Essa variação foi registrada nas falas de quase todos os informantes em quase todos os pontos de inquérito, o futuro do pretérito foi registrado apenas na fala de um informante do gênero feminino, da faixa etária I, do município de Manacapuru. Espera-se que este trabalho possa contribuir para ampliar o conhecimento acerca do modo de falar dos amazonenses, mais especificamente dos moradores da microrregião ora pesquisada.

Nous sommes partie d’un constat, celui de la fréquence, de la réitération, et surtout de la persistance, depuis des dizaines d’années, de nombreuses erreurs d’un genre particulier relatives à l’emploi des pronoms personnels du français, produites par les apprenants tunisiens. Nous avons formé le projet de travailler sur les divers obstacles et les différentes sources de difficultés auxquels se heurte l’apprenant tunisien dans l’apprentissage et l’emploi de ce fait linguistique. Les problèmes liés à cet apprentissage et à cet emploi semblent présenter la double particularité d’être d’un côté spécifiques à la nature de ce fait de langue (cette catégorie de morphèmes est très complexe à cause des contraintes morpho – syntaxiques qu’elle présente) et inhérents à ses degrés de convergence et de divergence avec les faits de langue correspondants dans la langue maternelle de l’apprenant, le dialecte tunisien, et dans « sa deuxième première langue », l’arabe classique ; et d’un autre côté, généraux c’est-à-dire liés au contexte dans lequel cette langue est enseigné, contexte où plusieurs paramètres entrent en jeu : problèmes sociolinguistiques et psycholinguistiques. La question du statut du français enseigné en Tunisie est posé, statut qui varie d’un cycle à l’autre, et d’une région à l’autre et qui exige, dans tous les cas, des outils, des méthodes et des pratiques pédagogiques appropriés.La thèse que nous développons dans ce travail repose sur l’idée qu’à l’origine des problèmes constatés dans l’emploi des pronoms personnels, se trouvent ces différents facteurs généraux et spécifiques qui ont toujours agi à la défaveur de l’enseignement-apprentissage de la grammaire en général et qui, malgré la succession des réformes, n’ont jamais été pris en charge. Ainsi, l’échec de l’enseignement-apprentissage des pronoms personnels est essentiellement lié à l’absence de prise en charge des vraies difficultés rencontrées dans ce contexte par les enseignants et les apprenants. / We started from a general remark about the frequency, reiteration and particularly the persistence, since many years, of numerous errors of a particular kind. These errors are relative to the use of personal pronouns of the French language produced by Tunisian learners.We developed the project through working on the diverse obstacles of different sources to which the Tunisian learner is exposed in the learning and use of this linguistic fact. The problems related to this learning and this use seem to be of a double particularity. One the one hand, the problems are specific to the nature of this element in the language (This category of morphemes is very complex because of the morpho-syntactic constraints which it presents) and inherent to its convergence and divergence degrees with the corresponding language facts of the learner’s mother tongue, the Tunisian Arabic dialect, and also with the “first second language”, the Standard Arabic. On the other hand, they are general which means that they are related to the context in which the language is taught. Many parameters, mainly sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic problems, intervene in this context. The issue of the status of the French taught in Tunisia is raised. This status varies from one cycle to another and one region to another and which requires, in all cases, appropriate methods and pedagogical practices. The thesis that we develop in this work is built on the idea that the remarked problems in the use of personal pronouns originate from different general and specific factors that have always acted unfavorably in the learning-teaching of the grammar in general which, despite the subsequent reforms, have never been taken into consideration. Hence, the failure of the learning-teaching of personal pronouns is essentially related to the absence of consideration of the real difficulties involved in this context both to the teachers and the learners.

This thesis investigates "voice mismatch verbs" (deponents), verbs that take non-active morphology but are used in syntactically active environments. The focus is on the non-informant Indo-European languages Hittite, Vedic Sanskrit, Ancient Greek, and Latin, supplemented by data from Modern Greek. / Linguistics
