Estudo dos papéis temáticos: uma abordagem comparativa a partir da visão das gramáticas prescritiva e descritiva

Abstract

Aiming at a comparison between the constructs of traditional and descriptive grammatical theory, this research shows a study of thematic roles that are assigned to the arguments required by the verbs in Portuguese to translate the sense relations between them. From placements canonized by the normative grammar of the functions of grammatical terms in the position of subject and object / complement, which receive only the roles of agent or patient, both for the subject, as to the object / complement, is an accomplished analysis of the arguments requests by all sorts of verbs, for example, action verb, transfer, career, psychological, perceptual, among others, to clarify that, when it occurs in a sentence, the verb does not express that idea action there's no sense turning relations between their arguments with only the roles of agent and patient, because these roles are insufficient to the needs of verbal expressions sensory, psychological or cognitive. There is, then the other roles that need to be able to translate the semantic relationships in a sentence. Thus the overall objective of this work is to show through theoretical arguments of the need to include thematic roles in the routine analysis of sentences in Portuguese. Among the specific objectives is to bring an understanding to justify the position of the grammar rules on this matter. The research aims to present information that helps in seeking to understand the organization of language, whereas the union of study of the syntactic structure together with its semantic properties is positive for the process of improving reading.
