Resumo: In Brazilian Portuguese (BP), the verb haver ‘to exist/there to be’can be replaced by the possessive ter ‘to have’ in existential constructions and an intriguing aspect of this variation is that ter loses the definiteness restrictions on complements while haver triggers such restriction. The assumption is that this contrast is due to the fact that, although ter has been reanalyzed as existential, it keeps the selection properties of possessive sentences. The data analyzed (1528 existential clauses from spoken contemporary BP and 200 with haver/ter-possessive clauses in MP, from the 13th to the 16th century) reveal a crucial aspect of the relevant changes in the history of Portuguese: the existential version of ter and haver inherits syntacticsemantic aspects of their possessive version, which shows that an item can emerge into a new context without changing its essential selection properties.

A hipótese é a de que esse contraste seja resultante do fato de ter, embora tenha sido reanalisado como existencial, mantenha ainda as propriedades de seleção de sentenças possessivas. Os dados analisados (1528 construções existenciais do português falado contemporâneo e 200 construções com haver/ter-sentenças possessivas no português medieval (PM), do século XIII ao XVI) revelam um aspecto crucial das mudanças relevantes que tiveram lugar na história da língua portuguesa: a versão existencial de ter e haver herda os aspectos sintático-semânticos de sua versão possessiva, o que demonstra que um item pode emergir em um novo contexto sem mudar suas propriedades essenciais de seleção.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2012-06-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigos de linguísticaartigos de linguísticaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/22629Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 19 n. 30 (2012): Linguagem e ensino - problematização e diálogoMATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 19 No. 30 (2012): Language and its Teaching - questions and opportunities for dialogue2446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/22629/16172Callou, DinahAvelar, Juanitoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-07-09T04:04:37Zoai:ojs.www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br:article/22629Revistahttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matragaPUBhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/index.php/matraga/oai||letrasmatraga@uerj.br2446-69051414-7165opendoar:2019-07-09T04:04:37Matraga (Online) - Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)false
