This paper develops a research regarding the syntactic semantic approach of the ergative structures in Brazilian Portuguese and the way they act in the construction of texts. Before examining the corpus adopted for the study, it was made a brief analysis of the concept of ergativity, of the relations with transitivity and of how both of them are approached in traditional dictionaries and grammars. In the sequence, the clitic se was analyzed diachronically as an elucidative instrument of the discussions about the classification of the verbal voices, which are closely connected to the ergativization. It was also verified the thematic roles performed by the arguments of the verb. Highlighting the current registers about ergativization, it was made a bibliographical revision based on the most recent functionalists studies. After that, it was presented the corpus studied: text productions of pupils and periodical editorials of great circulation. This diversity choice was adopted in order to make this analyze as wide as possible, verifying the communicative intentions imposed by the standard school language and by the real standard language in the construction of the texts
