“Quer ver” como fica a análise dessa construção: futuridade, modalidade e evidencialidade em jogo

Abstract

In this dissertation, we developed an analytical framework of complex predication [VVolitional(auxiliary) VPerception(see)Predicator of a state of affairs(infinitive)] Complex predicator], and sought to identify the contexts of uses (futurity, epistemicity and evidentiality), from the synchronic stratification, in 366 data extracted from the now sample, from the Portuguese Corpus. In addition, the methodology is quali-quantitative. The analysis is grounded in Use-Based Construction Grammar (GCBU), which emphasizes the relationship between grammar and language use and explores the formal and functional properties of grammatical constructions in usage contexts. The general results point to a change from visual perception to non-visual perception, especially mental and, as a consequence, extensibility of the construction, which promoted the development of new uses for construction, licensing the epistemic and evidential uses, in addition to the futurity value. Thus, from these new meanings, the speaker introduces a modal element that reflects an expressed desire or will, related to the epistemic aspect, revealing the speaker's attitude towards the validity or confirmation of the proposition presented. Epistemicity, when introducing the speaker's knowledge or belief, is intrinsically connected to evidentiality, which refers to the linguistic marking of the sources of information that support a statement. Finally, the findings demonstrate that the evidentiality is direct, where the subject seems to be in the voice of the speaker. In others, there is an inference based on accumulated knowledge and sensory perceptions to anticipate future events. The use of the first person singular and the reference to past situations reinforce the connection between deixis and temporal continuity.
