Transitivity has a central role in most linguistic theories, especially because in a very significant number of languages the syntactic and semantic transitivity structures overlap. It is still a challenge for linguistic theories to find an explanation for this, at least quasi-universal, grammatical trend. The development of computational methods for the analysis of large amounts of data has made corpus semantic analysis a reality and allows projecting a new light onto the linguistic phenomena. This work aims to present a statistical methodology capable of allowing the analysis of semantic and syntactic clausal patterns, reaching similar results found in theoretically categories. This type of methodology may be useful, from a new perspective, for the investigation of semantic patterns to which the speakers are exposed, regardless of syntax,. In a simple sampling procedure without replacement, 690 oral units were selected from a corpus of 23 oral interviews. These sentence units were analyzed in terms of nine transitivity parameters and their clausal syntax. The goal was to identify groups of sentences that share similarities in terms of this set of traits. The groups found reveal a kind of protoconceptual meaning of the sentences, which includes related aspectual and actantial traits. The results show three basic micro-narrative scenarios on which the event expressed in clausal unfolds. Although these scenarios appear correlated with certain syntactic patterns, they are not exclusive. Different syntactic structures can accommodate the same general semantic pattern.
