A realização do aspecto verbal em sentenças do português brasileiro

Abstract

This research has a descritive character and our purpose was making an explanation about the phenomenon named 'aspect'. In order to reach our objective, we have made use of the theorical assumption in formal linguistics, particularly those presented by the works of Castilho (1968) and Travaglia (1981). In addition, we also based our arguments at the concepts of Costa (1990), Oliveira (2003) and Corôa (2005). Our focus was constructing the job in order to make easier the endeavors of the future aspect's researchers. On the first part we discoursed about the relation among tense and aspect. Futhermore, we have also analyzed sentences where there was aspect and tried to demonstrate which are the correct ways to interpret it. After that, on the second part, we presented the board of aspectual realization built by Castilho and Travaglia. On third part, we suggested an easier way to aspect's interpretation in the of Brazilian Portuguese, based in the text. Moreover, we have also made use of the aspect at the English language from the theories of Comrie (1976), at the Mandarin from the works of Klein, Li and Hendriks (2000) and at last, in the Yawanawá language from the thoughts of De Paula (2007), in order to make a comparison between these aspectual boards and Portuguese's, improving our interpretation of the phenomenon. We have made a reunion of all the references we judged necessary. We believe that we have reached our primary goal, which was: making easier the study of the subject on future beginer researches.
