Resumo: This work takes a Cognitive Linguistics perspective on Brazilian Portuguese conditional constructions. Based on mental spaces theory (FAUCONNIER, 1994, 1997; FAUCONNIER; SWEETSER, 1996) and on mental spaces work on conditionals (SWEETSER, 1990; DANCYGIER, 1998; DANCYGIER; SWEETSER, 2005), the research relied on recent contributions on subjectivity and intersubjectivity (LANGACKER, 1990; TRAUGOTT; DASHER, 2005; VERHAGEN, 2005), and its developments based on the notion of Basic Communicative Space Network (BCSN) (SANDERS; SANDERS; SWEETSER, 2009; FERRARI; SWEETSER, 2012). Drawing on written corpus data, which includes journalistic and literary texts, we focus on conditionals which may alternate between the future of the subjunctive and the present of the indicative, in the protasis, and between the present and the future of the indicative, in the apodosis. Four groups of conditionals that displayed distinct relations between mood/tense selection and cognitive motivations were identified. The main contribution of the paper is that it provides a unified framework for relating mood/tense alternations in conditionals to the speaker’s subjective and/or intersubjective perspective.

A investigação tem como base a Teoria dos Espaços Mentais (Fauconnier 1994, 1997; Fauconnier e Sweetser 1996), a partir de estudos sobre relações causais entre espaços condicionais (Sweetser 1990; Dancygier 1998; Dancygier e Sweetser, 2005), de contribuições recentes sobre subjetividade e intersubjetividade (Langacker 1990; Traugott e Dasher 2005, Verhagen 2005) e seus desdobramentos em termos da noção de Base Comunicativa (Sanders, Sanders e Sweetser, 2009; Autor e xxx, 2012). A partir de corpora escritos formados por textos jornalísticos e literários, a pesquisa enfoca condicionais que admitem alternância entre futuro do subjuntivo e presente do indicativo, na prótase, e entre futuro do indicativo e  presente do indicativo, na apódose.  O principal argumento do trabalho é que as condicionais investigadas refletem a perspectiva subjetiva e/ou intersubjetiva do falante, associada à projeção ascendente de informação na Base Comunicativa.UNESP2015-02-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/alfa/article/view/621010.1590/1981-5794-1502-4ALFA: Revista de Linguística; v. 59 n. 1 (2015)1981-5794reponame:Alfa (São José do Rio Preto.
