Resumo: This paper aims to investigate the formal properties of the canonic cleft structures in Brazilian Portuguese (BP). Such sentences are used to focus syntactic constituents through A-bar movement and the presence of a copula and a complementizer in order to provide emphasis to the focalized constituent. The main aspect of the formal properties of the cleft sentences is the convergence possibilities between the verb ser (be) and another elements of the sentence in terms of agreement and tense. The canonic panorama in PB is the agreement of the copula with the focus and the tense harmony with the thematic verb. On the other hand, BP – but not European Portuguese (EP) – licenses cleft constructions without such convergences. This phenomenon led some authors to defend that, in this case, the copula was gramaticalized into a focus element, once it would figure in the invariable form é (is). We will provide evidences to postulate that there is no gramaticalization involving the copula of the clefts in BP and propose that the canonic cleft has always a verbal copula, that project an argument structure (IP), even when it appears to be invariable. The same is not observed in the é que-clefts ones, with the focus on the initial position of the sentence. This type of cleft would have a functional copula.

Tales oraciones están diseñadas para enfocarse en los constituyentes a través del movimiento de la barra A y la presencia de cópula y complementador para garantizar el énfasis en el constituyente enfocado. El principal aspecto formal de los ceachs son las posibilidades de convergencia del verbo ser con otros elementos de la oración en términos de acuerdo y tiempo. El panorama estándar en CP sería el acuerdo de la cópula con el enfoque y la armonía temporal entre ella y el verbo temático. Por otro lado, PB -pero no el portugués europeo (PE)- licencia hendiduras que no presentan tales convergencias. Este fenómeno llevó a algunos autores a argumentar que, en este caso, la cópula se gramaticaliza como un elemento de enfoque, ya que sería en la forma invariable que es. Aportaremos evidencia para postular que no existe una gramaticalización que implique la cópula de la escoria escindida de CP y propondremos que las escisión canónicas siempre tengan una cópula verbal, que proyecta una estructura argumental IP, incluso cuando parezca estar en forma invariable. Lo mismo que no se verifica en el ceached es que, que presentan el foco en la posición inicial de la sentencia, que tendría cópula funcional.Este artigo visa investigar as propriedades formais das clivadas canônicas do português brasileiro (PB). Tais sentenças são designadas para focalizar constituintes através de movimento A-barra e da presença da cópula e do complementizador para garantir ênfase ao constituinte focalizado. O principal aspecto formal das clivadas são as possibilidades de convergência do verbo ser com outros elementos da sentença em termos de concordância e tempo. O panorama padrão em PB seria a concordância da cópula com o foco e a harmonia temporal entre a mesma e o verbo temático. Por outro lado, o PB – mas não o português europeu (PE) – licencia clivadas que não apresentam tais convergências. Esse fenômeno levou alguns autores a defender que, nesse caso, a cópula está gramaticalizada como um item focalizador, já que estaria na forma invariável é. Forneceremos evidências para postularmos que não há gramaticalização envolvendo a cópula das clivadas do PB e proporemos que as clivadas canônicas possuem sempre uma cópula verbal, que projeta uma estrutura argumental IP, mesmo quando aparenta estar na forma invariável. O mesmo não é verificado nas clivadas é que, que apresentam o foco na posição inicial da sentença, que possuiriam cópula funcional.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2021-10-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cel/article/view/866129710.20396/cel.v63i00.8661297Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; v. 63 (2021): Publicação Contínua; e021023Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; Vol. 63 (2021): Continous Publication; e021023Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos; Vol. 63 (2021): Publicación continua; e0210232447-0686reponame:Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticosinstname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/cel/article/view/8661297/27340Brazil; 2021Brasil; 2021Brasil; 2021Copyright (c) 2021 Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilveira, Damaris Matias2023-07-04T17:48:39Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8661297Revistahttp://revistas.iel.unicamp.br/index.php/cel/PUBhttp://revistas.iel.unicamp.br/index.php/cel/oaispublic@iel.unicamp.br||revistacel@iel.unicamp.br2447-06860102-5767opendoar:2023-07-04T17:48:39Cadernos de Estudos Linguísticos - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
