Resumo: Several experiments in Psycholinguistics found evidences of Iterative Coercion, an effect related to the reanalysis of punctual events used in durative contexts triggering an iterative meaning. We argue that this effect is not related to aspectual features, and that event-duration semantics is accessed during Sentence Processing. We ran a self-paced reading experiment in Brazilian Portuguese whose sentences contain events with an average duration of a few minutes. These sentences were inserted in durative contexts that became the experiment’s conditions following a Latin Square design: control condition (minutes), subtractive (seconds), iterative (hours) and habitual (days). Higher RTs were measured at the critical segments of all experimental conditions, except for the habitual context. The results corroborated our hypothesis while defying the psychological reality of habitual coercion. To better observe the habitual coercion condition, we now present a reanalysis of Sampaio et al. (2014) data. The present analysis confirms the results of our tests.

Nesse trabalho argumentamos que esse efeito não é relacionado a propriedades aspectuais e que a semântica da duração dos eventos é acessada online. Aplicamos um experimento de leitura auto-monitorada em Português Brasileiro, cujas sentenças contém eventos com duração média de alguns minutos. Estas sentenças foram inseridas em quatro condições durativas, seguindo uma distribuição fatorial (quadrado latino):condição controle (minutos), subtrativa (segundos), iterativa (horas) e habitual (dias). Nossos resultados indicam maiores RTs nos segmentos críticos das condições experimentais, exceto em relação a condição habitual. Esses resultados confirmam nossa hipótese, porém, põem em cheque a realidade psicológica da coerção habitual. Assim, para melhor observar os efeitos dessa condição, procedemos uma reanálise dos dados de Sampaio et al. (2014), que finalmente veio confirmar o resultado de nosso teste.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2018-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionLinguística Experimentalapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/2869510.15448/1984-7726.2018.1.28695Letras de Hoje; Vol. 53 No. 1 (2018): Language in a Psycho/Neurolinguistic and Cognitive Neuroscience perspective; 59-69Letras de Hoje; Vol. 53 Núm. 1 (2018): Linguagem na perspectiva da Psico/Neurolinguística e da Neurociência Cognitiva; 59-69Letras de Hoje; v. 53 n. 1 (2018): Linguagem na perspectiva da Psico/Neurolinguística e da Neurociência Cognitiva; 59-691984-77260101-333510.15448/1984-7726.2018.1reponame:Letras de Hoje (Online)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSenghttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/article/view/28695/16916Copyright (c) 2018 Letras de Hojeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSampaio, Thiago Oliveira da MottaFrança, Aniela Improta2018-06-27T15:36:22Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/28695Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/falePRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/fale/oaieditora.periodicos@pucrs.br || letrasdehoje@pucrs.br1984-77260101-3335opendoar:2018-06-27T15:36:22Letras de Hoje (Online) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false
