Resumo: In this paper we intend to perform a contrastive analysis of modal particle occurrences (hereinafter PM) in German, Catalan, Croatian, French and English, proposing a class of PM for Brazilian Portuguese. We start from the theoretical framework based on pragmatics and functionalist theories as support. Our main objective is to defend the existence of PMs in Brazilian Portuguese, being they linguistic-discursive resources used with the function of modifying nonexplicit information during the interaction. In this sense, PMs would activate assumptions in utterances based on nuclear meanings. This is an unprecedented study for proposing analysis of words and phrases that have not yet been classified as such in Portuguese-Brazilian grammars. This study is justified by the difficulty that these PM present both for teaching additional language and for translation. Investigating and describing German PMs and their functional equivalents in Portuguese can therefore provide avenues for understanding important pragmatic issues for communicative exchanges and their uses in the classroom. Finally, we hypothesize that, although there is a clear difference in the classification of these particles in many languages, the communicative functions of German PMs may find similar interpretative and even functional equivalents in Brazilian Portuguese.

Partimos de referencial teórico com base na pragmática e em teorias funcionalistas como suporte. Nosso principal objetivo é defender a existência de PMs no português brasileiro, sendo elas recursos linguístico-discursivos utilizados com a função de modalizar informações não explícitas durante a interação. Nesse sentido, as PMs ativariam pressupostos nas enunciações baseados em significados nucleares. Trata-se de estudo inédito por propor análises de palavras e locuções que ainda não foram classificadas como tal em gramáticas luso-brasileiras, salvo algumas poucas exceções. O presente estudo justifica-se pela dificuldade que essas PM apresentam tanto para o ensino de língua adicional, quanto para a tradução. A investigação e descrição das PMs alemãs e seus equivalentes funcionais em português, podem, portanto, oferecer caminhos para a compreensão de questões pragmáticas importantes para as trocas comunicativas e seus usos em sala de aula. Finalmente, levantamos a hipótese de que, embora exista uma evidente diferença de classificação dessas partículas em muitas línguas, as funções comunicativas das PMs em alemão podem encontrar semelhantes interpretativos e até equivalentes funcionais em português brasileiro.Universidade de São Paulo.
