A fundamentaÃÃo teÃrica deste trabalho retoma algumas das principais pesquisas feitas, anteriormente, a respeito do Aspecto verbal; um estudo que trata da maneira como esta categoria à vista dentro da SemÃntica e do Discurso; alÃm da questÃo da referÃncia desta categoria no discurso e dos elementos lingÃÃsticos que, geralmente, auxiliam na sua caracterizaÃÃo, como: os circunstanciadores temporais e os argumentos do verbo. Na metodologia, apresentamos os fatores de anÃlise, quais sejam: parÃmetros de transitividade, tipos de verbo, figura e fundo e tipos de interpretaÃÃo. Assim, conseguimos perceber que esta categoria verbal possui caracterÃsticas semÃntico-discursivas que sÃo condicionadas nÃo apenas pela forma lexical ou morfÃmica dos verbos, mas tambÃm pelos argumentos que os acompanham e pelo contexto discursivo no qual estÃo inseridos. / This paper approaches the semantic-discursive behavior of the verbal Aspect in the simple forms of the tenses: Perfect Past and Imperfect Past of the Indicative mode, in a corpus of six inquiries of the database PORCUFORT - PortuguÃs Oral Culto de Fortaleza. The theoretical chapters of this work retake some of the main researches made, previously, regarding the verbal Aspect; a study that adopts the way as this category is seen inside of the Semantics and of the Speech; in addition to the subject of the reference of this category in the speech and of the linguistic elements that, generally, that aid in its characterization, like the adverbs of time and the verbs argument. In the methodology, we show the analysis factors, they are: parameters of transitivity, verb types, foreground and background, and interpretation types. Thus, we have noticed that this verbal category possesses semantic-discursive characteristics that are not just conditioned by the morphological or lexical form of the verbs, but also by the arguments that accompany them, and by the discursive context in which they are inserted.

(in English) This thesis explores relationships among the tenses that express the past in the English language. Among these tenses are: past simple, past continuous, present perfect, present perfect continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous. The research focuses on the variation between the past simple (which also includes past continuous) and the present perfect (which also includes progressive constructions). The researched variation is the use of the past simple in the context of the present perfect in which the Present-Day English (PDE) would use the present perfect, and vice versa. Three decades (1731-1740, 1791-1800, and 1861-1870) were chosen from the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries. The findings were compared to the PDE situation. The material was collected from an online database called The Proceeding of the Old Bailey, which is believed to be one of the most reliable sources that are representative of the spoken language of the day. It was thought that the variation would be observed best in spontaneous spoken language. The aim was to study spoken language that was influenced by the grammatical prescriptivism of the age only marginally. There was an expectation that the occurrence of the past simple in the context of the present perfect would gradually decrease...

Im ersten Halbjahr 2016 wurde in Kooperation mit dem Martinsclub Bremen e.V. eine empirische Untersuchung zur funktionalen Varietät ' Leichte Sprache ' durchgeführt. Diese Ziele wurden verfolgt: 1) Für die ' Leichte Sprache ' wird u.a. vom ' Netzwerk Leichte Sprache ' reklamiert, für eine äußerst heterogene Zielgruppe von Nutzen zu sein. In der Untersuchung wird an Testitems, die z.T. erheblich gegen die ' Regeln ' für ' Leichte Sprache ' verstoßen, ermittelt werden, wie Gewährspersonen unterschiedlicher Zielgruppen (Menschen mit kognitiver Beeinträchtigung, Funktionale Analphabeten und Migranten) die ‚Schwierigkeit' und die ‚Akzeptabilität' der Items bewerten. 2) Die Regeln für ' Leichte Sprache ' sind (linguistisch) zu explizieren und auf die Bedürfnisse unterschiedlicher Zielgruppen zuzuschneiden. Beide Ziele wurden durch die Untersuchung für einzelne morphosyntaktische Phänomene erreicht. In diesem Artikel werden die Ergebnisse der Studie knapp vorgestellt und am Beispiel passivischer Strukturen des Deutschen im Detail diskutiert. Angrenzende Phänomenbereiche (sein-Perfekt, Kopulakonstruktionen mit sein und werden sowie werden mit futurischer und/oder epistemischer Lesart) werden nur angeschnitten.
