Transitividade Oracional: Reflexões sobre a função textualdiscursiva dos pronomes o(s), a(s), me, te.

Abstract

This work deals with the oblique pronouns o(s), a(s), me, te, starting from a syntactic traditional analysis for a discursive approach based on the concepts of the functional linguistic of the prototipicity, speech transitivity (Hopper and Thompson, 1980), discursive relevance and textual-discursive function (Matos, 2008). The data analysed were extracted of the corpus composed of three volumes of narratives narrated by Luiza Tereza, being this corpus part of the acquis of the Paraibana popular culture present in the NUPPO (Núcleo de Pesquisa e Documentação da Cultura Popular/Centre of Research and Documentation of the Popular Culture). It has been found that the study of the grammatical categories is not valid if made in an isolate way without observing, for example, speech transitivity that signal the syntactic function involved. It is important to consider the prototypical function so that the analysis be done on what is regular and in doing so the dimension of the results obtained is more comprehensive, as the regular is more frequent, in other words, more recurring, facilitating the more efficient comprehension as a function of the study. It was also confirmed the hypothesis that the pronoun me listed for analysis is part of the narratives of high transitivity level, being more to figure than to background. The prototypical function of the pronoun me is the function of the object, being this direct or indirect and in both high discursive transitivity is presented.
