description This work addresses the contrastive connection of utterances in contemporary Portuguese, investigating the semantic specifications and the caveat value of constructions [VacontecimentoQUE]. These constructions are formed by event verbs (acontecer, ocorrer and suceder), inflected in the third person singular of the present indicative, followed by the particle que. It is proposed that such constructions are used by speakers to introduce a rupture in the discourse, redirecting the argument that is constructed through the addition of more salient information. After constructional changes, ongoing research considers that micro-constructions such as acontece que, ocorre que and sucede que start to function as connectors that establish relations of inequality between segments. In the light of usage-based linguistics and based on the constructional approach to grammar, the analysis addresses the specificities of [VacontecimentoQUE] when connecting sentences, involving syntactic, semantic and pragmatic aspects. The studies of Halliday (1985; 2004) and Neves (1984; 2011) regarding clause connections are used as theoretical basis. Contrastive notions, based on Lakoff (1971), Longhin (2003), Neves (2011), Castilho (2016), and Azeredo (2018) are also used in the analysis. Primarily qualitative in nature, this research has as its corpus statements by senators, already available transcribed on the Senate's institutional website. The partial results indicate that statements introduced by [VacontecimentoQUE] constructions mark a rupture in the discourse due to the addition of a new clause that changes the direction of the argumentation. This new argument, in turn, may be loaded with a caveat effect, a speaker's discursive atitude which is a result of the pragmatic focusing effect in combination with the violation of semantic expectancy. The semantic specifications identified for [VacontecimentoQUE] are: (i) simple contrast, (ii) partial contrast, which can restrict or detail the preceding segment, (iii) contrast by non-realization, (iv) inferential contrast by justification and (v) discursive-pragmatic contrast by focusing. Caveat is most salient in the partial contrast specification.

Essas construções são formadas por verbos de acontecimento (acontecer, ocorrer e suceder), flexionados na terceira pessoa do singular do presente do indicativo, seguidos pela partícula que. Propõe-se que tais construções são utilizadas pelos falantes para introduzir uma ruptura no discurso, redirecionando a argumentação que se constrói a partir do acréscimo de uma informação mais saliente. A pesquisa em andamento considera que, após mudanças construcionais, microconstruções como acontece que, ocorre que e sucede que passam a funcionar como conectores que estabelecem relações de desigualdade entre segmentos. À luz da linguística centrada no uso e com base na abordagem construcional da gramática, a análise aborda as especificidades da articulação de segmentos realizada por [VacontecimentoQUE], envolvendo aspectos sintáticos, semânticos e pragmáticos. Como pressupostos teóricos, utiliza-se dos estudos de Halliday (1985; 2004) e Neves (1984; 2011) quanto à conexão oracional. A análise vale-se, ainda, das noções contrastivas, tomando como base as pesquisas de Lakoff (1971), Longhin (2003), Neves (2011), Castilho (2016), Azeredo (2018). De caráter prioritariamente qualitativo, esta pesquisa possui como corpus pronunciamentos de senadores, proferidos em plenário, disponibilizados já transcritos no site institucional do Senado. Os resultados parciais apontam que enunciados introduzidos por construções [VacontecimentoQUE] marcam uma ruptura no discurso pelo acréscimo de novo argumento que altera o rumo da argumentação. Esse novo argumento, por sua vez, pode vir carregado de efeito de ressalva, uma atitude discursiva do falante que é resultado do efeito pragmático focalizador em combinação com a quebra de expectativa. As especificações semânticas identificadas para [VacontecimentoQUE] são: (i) contraste simples, (ii) contraste parcial, que pode restringir ou detalhar o segmento precedente, (iii) contraste por não realização, (iv) contraste inferencial por justificativa e (v) contraste discursivo-pragmático por focalização, sendo a ressalva mais saliente na especificação de contraste parcial.Abralin2024-06-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/article/view/73110.25189/2675-4916.2024.v5.n2.id731Cadernos de Linguística; Vol. 5 No. 2 (2024); e731Cadernos de Linguística; Vol. 5 Núm. 2 (2024); e731Cadernos de Linguística; v. 5 n. 2 (2024); e7312675-4916reponame:Cadernos de Linguísticainstname:Associação Brasileira de Linguística (ABRALIN)instacron:ABRALINengporhttps://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/article/view/731/929https://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/article/view/731/1031Copyright (c) 2024 Priscilla Hoelz Pacheco, Nilza Barrozo Diasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHoelz Pacheco, PriscillaBarrozo Dias, Nilza2025-06-08T16:08:54Zoai:ojs3.cadernos.abralin.org:article/731Revistahttps://cadernos.abralin.org/ONGhttps://cadernos.abralin.org/index.php/cadernos/oaiabralin@abralin.org || cadlin@abralin.org13083-8592675-4916opendoar:2025-06-08T16:08:54Cadernos de Linguística - Associação Brasileira de Linguística (ABRALIN)false
