Resumo: | The linguistic phenomenon of ambiguity is concrete in the speech of those who speak any language and, by providing a duplicity of meanings, it usually generates doubts in the receiver of the statement. Thus, the second interlocutor takes more time to process the information and make the appropriate correlations. The objective of our reading comprehension study was to test the hypothesis that there is a syntactic function and position preference when there are ambiguous sentences formed by a temporal clause and a main clause with a null pronoun. These experimental sentences have both female and male proper nouns as subject and object. In this off-line experiment, ten English language students answered a Google Forms form with the same experimental sentences (16) and other distractors (32), in order to check their syntactic preferences between subject and object. As a result, it can be said that the null pronouns' correlference was mostly with the subject of the subordinate clause in canonical position. We conclude, therefore, that there is a compatibility of results with the predictions made by the Position of Antecedent Hypothesis (PAH) based on Carminati (2002). |

Desse modo, o segundo interlocutor leva mais tempo para processar a informação e fazer as correlações adequadas. O objetivo do nosso estudo de compreensão leitora foi testar a hipótese de que há uma preferência de função sintática e de posição quando se tem frases ambíguas formadas por uma oração temporal e uma oração principal dispondo de pronome nulo. Essas frases experimentais têm por sujeito e objeto substantivos próprios de ambos os gêneros, feminino e masculino. Nesse experimento off-line, dez estudantes do curso de Letras responderam a um formulário no Google Forms com as mesmas frases experimentais já citadas (16) e outras distratoras (32), a fim de se comprovar suas preferências sintáticas entre sujeito e objeto. Como resultado, pode-se dizer que a correferência dos pronomes nulos se deu majoritariamente com o sujeito da oração subordinada em posição canônica. Conclui-se, portanto, que há uma compatibilidade de resultados com as predições feitas pela Hipótese da Posição do Antecedente (HPA) baseadas em Carminati (2002).INSTITUTO PERSONA DE EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR2023-07-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://idonline.emnuvens.com.br/id/article/view/377610.14295/idonline.v17i67.3776ID on line.
