Esta tese aborda o tema Transitividade Verbal em construções predicativas encontradas em corpus construído com textos jornalísticos impressos do Brasil. Os verbos são estudados segundo ocorrências retiradas de jornais de grande circulação em três capitais. Toma-se a semântica, a pragmática e a sintaxe como determinantes potenciais da transitividade verbal e aborda-se o tema segundo perspectiva histórica, ou seja, procura-se desenhar o percurso do tema nos estudos de língua portuguesa desde a sua primeira gramática, chegando-se, então, a reflexões mais atuais e também ao tratamento dispensado aos verbos e sua construção predicativa em dicionários e em gramáticas pedagógicas. O confronto com estudos acerca da língua espanhola também é motivo de atenção, devido à proximidade que o tema apresenta nas duas línguas. A partir desses estudos, buscou-se elaborar quadro sistemático e mais coerente dos verbos segundo a transitividade e construção predicativa, procurando aliar-se a base teórica consistente, apresentada pela tradição dos estudos gramaticais, às reflexões técnico-científicas acordadas com a realidade lingüística levantada a partir do corpus / This theory approaches the theme Verbal Transitivity starting from the predicative constructions found in corpus of the printed of Brazil journalistic language. The verbs are studied according to solitary occurrences of newspapers of great circulation in three capitals. It is taken the semantics, the pragmatic and the syntax as potential determinant of the verbal transitivity and the theme second historical perspective is approached, in other words, it tries to draw the course of the theme in the studies of portuguese language from her first grammar, being arrived, then, to more current reflections and also to the treatment released to the verbs and her predicative construction in dictionaries and in pedagogic grammars. The confrontation with studies concerning the spanish language is also reason attention for, due to the proximity that the theme presents in the two languages. To leave of those studies, it is looked for to elaborate systematic and more coherent picture of the verbs according to the transitivity, trying to ally the solid theoretical base presented by the tradition of the grammatical studies to the awake technician-scientific reflections with the lifted up linguistic reality starting from the corpus

O principal objetivo do trabalho consiste em traçar o percurso de desenvolvimento diacrônico dessas construções na história do português, adotando-se como aparato teórico-metodológico os Modelos Baseados no Uso (KEMMER; BERLOW, 2000; BYBEE, 2010), perspectiva que procura conjugar pressupostos da Linguística Cognitiva e do Funcionalismo, estes representados, especialmente, pelos estudos sobre gramaticalização de orações (HOPPER; TRAUGOTT, 2003; LEHMANN, 1988). A fim de atestar a trajetória de mudança das construções em análise, investigaram-se dois diferentes corpora: um primeiro, composto por amostras do português histórico dos séculos XIII a XX; e um segundo, que inclui amostras de fala representativas do século XXI. A análise dos resultados comprovou que as predicações não-verbais, ao longo da história do português, não resultam de um processo de integração de orações, como propõe Lehmann (1988) para as predicações verbais. Constatou-se que essas construções são resultantes de um processo de gramaticalização que leva à expansão da estrutura e do significado dos argumentos que as constituem, motivada por analogização. As mudanças observadas nas predicações não-verbais encaixadas envolvem três fatores: o primeiro de ordem formal, diz respeito ao tipo morfossintático do argumento sujeito da construção, que, de nominal passa a oracional; o segundo, de ordem funcional, relaciona-se ao tipo semântico da entidade representada pelo argumento sujeito, que de indivíduo passa a permitir a codificação também de estado-de-coisas, episódio e proposição (LYONS, 1977; DIK, 1989; HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008); o terceiro, também de ordem funcional, refere-se à classe semântica do predicado não-verbal, que se expande da classe dos qualificativos para a classe dos avaliativos e dos modais. Essas mudanças em conjunto, associadas à abstratização do verbo achar, permitiram comprovar a hipótese de que predicações não-verbais simples, mais integradas à construção matriz, submetem-se a um processo histórico de expansão semântica e estrutural, rumo a um complexo oracional menos integrado, e não a processo contrário. Conclui-se, portanto, que essa nova forma de organização do complexo oracional reflete o modo como a língua permite aos falantes avaliar experiências mais abstratas, a partir de experiências mais concretas, utilizando-se, para isso, de estruturas pré-existentes na língua. / This study investigates two kinds of non-verbal constructions embedded in the verb achar and structured using a predicate of adjectival nature, the first one designated as predicação nãoverbal encaixada simples (simple non-verbal embedded construction) (acho (que) a pesquisa (é) interessante) and the second, predicação não-verbal encaixada complexa (complex nonverbal embedded construction) (acho (que é) bom (que) você ir /vá embora). The aim of this work is to trace the course of development of these constructions in the history of Portuguese language, adopting as theoretical-methodological approach Usage Based Models of Language (Kemmer; Berlow, 2000; Bybee, 2010), perspective that seeks to combine Cognitive Linguistics and Functionalism assumptions, especially represented by studies on clauses grammaticalization (Hopper; Traugott, 2003; Lehmann, 1988). In order to attest the path of changing of the constructions in analysis, we investigated two different corpora: the first composed of Portuguese historical samples from 13th to 20th centuries and the second, which includes representative speech samples of the 21st century. The analysis of the results proved that the non-verbal constructions, throughout the history of Portuguese, do not result from a clause integration process, as proposed by Lehmann (1988) for the verbal predications. It was noted that these constructions are result of a grammaticalization process that leads to the expansion of the structure and the meaning of the arguments which compose them motivated by analogy. The observed changes in non-verbal embedded constructions involve three factors: the first, from formal order, concerned to the morphosyntactic type of the construction subject argument, which changes from nominal to clausal; the second, from functional order, relates to the semantic type of the entity represented by the subject argument that from individuals allow the coding also of state of affairs, episode and proposition (LYONS, 1977; DIK, 1989; HENGEVELD; MACKENZIE, 2008); the third, also from functional order, refers to the semantic class of non-verbal predicate, which expands from qualificatives class to evaluation and modal class. These changes together, associated with the abstractization process of the verb achar, allowed to prove the hypothesis that simple non-verbal constructions, more integrated with the matrix construction, undergo a historic process of semantic and structural expansion, towards to a less integrated sentence complex, and not to the opposite process. It is therefore concluded that this new form of organization of complex sentence reflects the way language allows speakers to evaluate more abstract experiences, based on more concrete experiences, using for this, pre-existing structures in language.

The current study investigates how locative clauses and existential constructions are realized and differentiated in the language of Khowar [ISO 693–3: khw] (Hindu Kush Indo-Aryan, HKIA). Khowar is one of several under-researched languages in the Hindu Kush, and as of yet there is no comprehensive description of its linguistic structure. The data for this study was provided by Afsar Ali Khan (local linguist and native speaker of Khowar), in the form of a collection of transcribed traditional Khowar stories, told by speakers in the community. Samples of locative clauses and existential constructions were collected from the corpus, mainly by use of the concordance tool of Toolbox, after which an analysis was carried out. The results show that word order is the main strategy for differentiating locational-existential constructions and locative clauses in Khowar, that semantically bleached posture verbs are not a present strategy for creating locative clauses nor existential constructions, and that there are certain story-opening sequences with existential constructions that are typical of the genre represented by the data. Future research is suggested to focus on negative existentials in Khowar, the full distributional pattern of the actual and inferential copula in other types of non-verbal predication, and the extended use of the 3rd person singular past tense form of the actual copula, ɔʃɔj, which is no longer sensitive to the animacy distinction otherwise present in the Khowar verbal system.

Les constructions à verbe support et les constructions à prédicat composé ont été longuement étudiées, mais de façon indépendante dans la linguistique française et anglo-saxonne. En se basant sur le courant du Lexique-Grammaire, cette thèse a visé de répondre à la lacune dans les langues africaines, des études sur des constructions similaires dans lesquelles le verbe est sémantiquement vague et dont la force prédicative repose principalement sur nom. Cette thèse comprend aussi une étude comparative entre les langues des familles différentes pour valider la notion d’universalité de ce type de verbes qui sont dénommés les verbes supports dans le courant dont nous nous basons. En effet notre recherche à démontré que les verbes délexicalisés et désemantisés actualisent des nominaux gérondifs prédicatifs dans la langue éwé, une langue Kwa de la famille Nigéro-congolaise pour laquelle il n’existait pas d’études préalables à ce sujet. D’ailleurs, une étude comparative nous a aussi révélé que les constructions à verbe support en français partagent certaines propriétés syntaxico-sémantiques avec des constructions à prédicat composé en anglais et des constructions à nominal gérondif en éwé telles que la réduction du verbe support et sa reconstructibilité par le biais d’une proposition relative. Les trois langues ont aussi partagé la propriété de certains verbes actualisateurs fonctionnant comme des agents de nominalisation. Cependant, il existe aussi des différences au niveau des constructions. L’une des différences est le fait que la détermination du nom joue un rôle important dans les constructions à verbe support en français et les constructions à prédicat composé en anglais alors que la détermination n’est pas un enjeu important dans la construction à nominal gérondif. D’autres différences qui sont ressorties de notre thèse étaient les différences dans le nombre et la fréquence des constructions à verbe support dans les trois langues ainsi que les différences dans les relations d’interdépendance des éléments différents des constructions étudiées dans les trois langues. En général, l’anglais et le français semblaient très proches et il y avait peu des distinctions syntaxico-sémantiques. Par contre, l’éwé montrait plus de différences – ce qui est un argument en faveur de l’existence de grammaires locales différenciées selon les langues comme le suggère le cadre du Lexique-Grammaire.Cependant, il existe aussi des différences au niveau des constructions.

This thesis aims at filling the gap of studies of support verb constructions in African languages, as well as that of comparative studies among languages of different families in order to validate the notion of the universality of support verbs. Indeed our research has demonstrated that support verbs do exist in Ewe, a Kwa language of the Niger-Congo family for which there had been no prior study of this notion. Moreover, a comparative study also revealed to us that support verb constructions in English, French and Ewe share certain syntax-semantic properties such as the reduction of the support verbe and its reconstruction through a relative clause. The three languages also shared the property of support verbs being agents of nominalization. However, there are also differences in these constructions. One of the differences is the fact that determination plays an important role in support verb constructions in English and French. However, determination is not an important factor in support verb constructions in Ewe. Other differences that were reflected in our thesis include the differences in number and frequency of support verb constructions (SVCs) in the tree languages, as well as differences in the interdependency links among the various elements of SVCs in the three languages. On the whole, English and French seem linguistically close and there were few syntax-semantic differences. On the other hand, Ewe displayed more differences – which supports the concept of different language-specific local grammars suggested by the Lexical-Grammar framework.

Cette étude compare le fonctionnement de l’énoncé averbal (EAV) en kabyle et en allemand, en prenant comme cadre théorique la triade sémantico-logique établie par Zemb (1978), i. e. le thème (ce dont on parle), le rhème (ce qu’on en dit) et le phème (lieu d’articulation de la modalisation et de la négation) appliquée par Behr et Quintin (1996) et Behr (2013) à la catégorisation des EAV de l’allemand. Nous postulons que chaque langue dispose de moyens morphosyntaxiques, contextuelles et situationnelles contribuant à la réalisation d’EAV et que ces moyens sont plus étendus en kabyle. Nous supposons qu’il existe des structures sémantico-logiques uniques qui pourraient s’exprimer à travers des structures morphosyntaxiques variées. Nous supposons enfin que les EAV réalisent toutes les modalités, disposent de moyens morphologiques et/ ou contextuels permettant de les localiser dans le cadre temporel. Parmi les résultats, nous avons constaté que les EAV sont plus fréquents en kabyle grâce aux structures prédicatives grammaticalisées, sauf l’EAV représentant une continuité syntaxique avec le segment de gauche dont la fréquence en allemand est due au scrambling. Au niveau syntaxique, la pré-/postposition du thème par rapport au rhème obéit à des contraintes liées à la langue, i. e. l’état du nom en kabyle et la définitude du GN en allemand ; des contraintes propres à l’EAV se manifestent dans la prédilection pour l’ordre rhème-thème en allemand. Les EAV expriment toutes les modalités, ils sont situés dans le temps par les circonstants, certains démonstratifs ou le contexte, et les nominalisations en tant que rhème existentiel expriment l’aspectualité télique et atélique. / The study compares the functioning of non-verbal utterances in German and Kabyle (Berber) using the Zemb’s (1978) semantico-logical triad as a theoretical framework, i.e. the theme (what is being talked about), the rheme (what is said about the theme) and the phème (place of articulation of modalisation and negation), applied by Behr and Quintin (1996) and Behr (2013) to categorisation of German non-verbal utterances. We posit that each language has morphosyntactic, contextual and situational means allowing the construction of non-verbal utterances and that these means are more extensive in Kabyle.We also hypothesise that there are unique semantico-logical structures which could be expressed through varied morphosyntactical structures. Finally, we presume that non-verbal utterances express all the modalities; they have morphological and/ or contextual possibilities which locate them within the temporal framework. We have observed, among other results, that the frequency of non-verbal utterances is higher in Kabyle due to grammaticalized predicative structures, except for those depending syntactically on a main sentence, which could be explained by the scrambling-process. At the syntactic level, the pre-/postposition of the rheme in relation to the theme is subject to language specific constraints, i.e. changes in the noun state in Kabyle, the determination and definiteness in German; constraints concerning non-verbal utterances appear in the preference of the rheme-theme order in German. Non-verbal utterances express all modalities; they are located in time by circumstances, by some demonstratives or by the context, and nominalisations as existential rheme express telic and atelic aspectuality.

Dans cette thèse, j’étudie l’intransitivité scindée dans la famille linguistique arawak (Amérique du sud). L’analyse grammaticale du phénomène de l’intransitivité scindée s’appuie sur la prise en compte d’une part de ses motivations sémantico-pragmatiques, et d’autre part de ses réalisations morphosyntaxiques selon les catégories grammaticales, les changements de diathèse et les facteurs de TAM. En plus des marquages canoniques de l’agent et du patient d’un verbe transitif, les constructions impliquant des marquages non canoniques, comme celles engageant des verbes nominalisés ou un marquage différentiel, ont également été considérées.Cette étude non seulement révèle l’existence d’une grande diversité parmi les sous-types d’intransitivité scindée, mais propose les moyens de comprendre l’évolution diachronique de ces sous-types, avec laquelle ont pu interférer les effets du contact de langues. Les hypothèses avancées sur l’évolution historique des systèmes grammaticaux mettent à jour les voies où plusieurs langues ont pu s’engager vers des alignements à coloration accusative vs. ergative.Au travers de cette orientation, l’étude nous éclaire sur les différentes manières qu’a l’intransitivité scindée d’affecter l’alignement des actants, apportant ainsi sa contribution à la typologie des langues. / In this thesis I study in depth the split intransitivity in the Arawak family of languages of South America. The grammatical analysis of the split intransitivity phenomenon is based on both their semantico-pragmatical motivations and their morphosyntactical realizations according to grammatical categories, valence changes and TAM. Besides, I also take into account constructions involving other types such as nominalized verbs and differential marking.This study not only reveals the existence of a rich diversity of split intransitivity patterns within this family, but it also proposes paths to understand the diachrony of such patterns, involving shifts from ergative alignment to accusative alignment, for which the effects of language contact may have played an important role. In this connection, the study sheds light onto the ways split intransitivity has implication for alignment-type and it is thus of interest for language typology.
