Resumo: The present study aims to investigate whether the aspectual readings of “estar+gerund” periphrasis generate volitional readings in the context of [± animated] subjects in Brazilian Portuguese. Arche (2014) questions the fact that, in the literature, several authors attribute to this periphrasis a volition reading, without explaining how this reading is generated. So, we tested whether the [animacity] feature of the external argument is able to confirm this volition reading of the investigated periphrasis. The assumed hypothesis is that there is no specific volition reading for this periphrasis, but that the aspectual readings are generated in the syntagmatic structure due to the aspectual contribution of different sentence elements. To test this hypothesis, we applied a grammaticality judgment test to ten Brazilian Portuguese speakers. The results show that, even in contexts with [-animated] subjects, speakers mostly associated sentences with interpretations that indicate skill and, consequently, volition.

Arche (2014) questiona o fato de que, na literatura, diversos autores atribuem a essa perífrase uma leitura de volição, sem explicar como essa leitura é gerada. Com isso, testamos se o traço [animacidade] do argumento externo é capaz de confirmar essa leitura de volição da perífrase investigada. A hipótese assumida é a de que não há uma leitura específica de volição para essa perífrase, mas que as leituras aspectuais são geradas na estrutura sintagmática devido à contribuição aspectual de diferentes elementos sentenciais. Para testar essa hipótese, aplicamos um teste de julgamento de gramaticalidade a dez falantes de português brasileiro. Os resultados mostram que, mesmo em contextos com sujeitos [-animados], os falantes associaram majoritariamente as sentenças a interpretações que indicam habilidade e, consequentemente, volição.PUC Minas2020-09-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/article/view/2294810.5752/P.2358-3428.2020v24n51p238-264Scripta; Vol 24 No 51 (2020): Tense, Aspect, Mood and Modality; 238-264Scripta; v. 24 n. 51 (2020): Tempo, aspecto, modo e modalidade; 238-2642358-34281516-4039reponame:Revista Scriptainstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)instacron:PUC_MINSporhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/article/view/22948/17160Copyright (c) 2020 Editora PUC Minashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraujo, ThaisSebold, Mercedes2022-02-17T06:30:28Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/22948Revistahttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/userhttp://periodicos.pucminas.br/index.php/scripta/oai||cespuc@pucminas.br2358-34281516-4039opendoar:2022-02-17T06:30:28Revista Scripta - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais (PUC Minas)false
