Optionality conditions of the direct object in Brazilian Portuguese
Keywords:
direct object, direct object omission, verbal valences, Brazilian Portuguese.Abstract
Adopting a descriptive approach, this study focuses on what traditionally is called the direct object of Brazilian Portuguese, especially the conditions of its omission. The possibility of occurrence of a NP as an object divides the verbs between those that admit and those that do not admit direct object, hence the importance of these conditions for the formulation of verb valencies. In this paper, the analysis is limited to simple sentences; anaphoric situations are not considered as the omission of the direct object in anaphoric situation applies to any verb annulling subclassification.Downloads
