Resumen
The present work investigates (dis)uses of the clitic pronoun in sentences with pronominal verbs. It aims to analyze the sentences formed either with the use of the clitic pronoun or without it and to identify possible motivations for the (dis)use the speaker chooses to do. In order to reach this goal, it is necessary (i) to assess the frequency of use and disuse of the clitic pronoun in sentences with pronominal verbs; (ii) to verify the semantic types of verbs that are used in the sentences with pronominal verbs and (iii) to identify social-interactional and cognitive-semantic motivations involved in the choice of the pattern used. The data used in this work are contemporary Portuguese language utterances taken from Corpus Discurso & Gramática, sections Natal - RN, Juiz de Fora - MG e Rio Grande - RS. The theoretical base for the study is the Usage Based Linguistics, which gathers contributions of both North American Functional Linguistics, as in Givón (1979, 1990), Hopper (1987), Bybee (2010), Traugott (2011), among others, and the Cognitive Linguistics, Langacker (1987), Lakoff (1987), Lakoff e Johnson (2002). Considering the occurrences found in the corpus, it was possible to identify that the use of the clitic pronoun continues to have a higher frequency than its erasure, that the pronominal verbs represent a wide semantic class, in which the sentiment verbs favors the use of clitic and motion verbs are related to disuse. Finally, we certify that the (dis)uses of the pronominal clitic are also related to cognitive factors, such as iconicity, economy and perspective, and comunicative factors, as expressitivity.
