Resumo: This paper proposes a new perspective on the investigation of conditional constructions in Brazilian Portuguese. Based on mental space theory, the analysis shows that the traditionally accepted notion of coherent epistemic stance has to be reviewed in order to account for embedded conditional constructions which occur in indirect reported speech. Since noncoherent epistemic stance may also occur, it is argued that discourse primitives such as Base, Viewpoint and Focus can provide a general explanation for the occurrence of both coherent and non-coherent embedded conditionals.

Com base na teoria dos espaços mentais, a análise mostra que a noção tradicionalmente aceita de uniformidade de postura epistêmica em construções condicionais precisa ser revista para explicar os casos de condicionais encaixadas no discurso indireto que podem não apresentar a referida uniformidade. Argumentase que primitivos discursivos tais como Base, Ponto de Vista e Foco podem fundamentar uma explicação unificada tanto para os casos em que a postura epistêmica se mantém a mesma na prótase e na apódose, como também para os casos de ruptura, em que prótase e apódose exibem posturas epistêmicas diferentes.Universidade Federal Fluminense2007-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33180Gragoatá; Vol. 12 No. 23 (2007): Reinterpretations of traditionGragoatá; v. 12 n. 23 (2007): Releituras da tradição2358-41141413-9073reponame:Gragoatáinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/article/view/33180/19167Copyright (c) 2019 Gragoatáinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFerrari, Lilian2020-08-18T23:33:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/33180Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoataPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/gragoata/oai||revistagragoata@gmail.com2358-41141413-9073opendoar:2020-08-18T23:33:27Gragoatá - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false
