The aim of this study is to provide an integrated description of consequential constructions in European contemporary Portuguese, relating their syntactic, semantic and pragmatic behavior. It will be argued that the discourse segment introduced by the connectives consequentemente , de forma que , dai (que) , de modo que , por isso , assim can be analyzed in terms of a supplement (Huddleston & Pullum 2002), not syntactically integrated with its anchor, but semantically related to it. Semantically, consequential constructions may be paraphrased by causal ones involving an adverbial subordinate clause. But, unlike causal constructions, consequential ones connect two distinct speech acts. The suppression of the consequential connective may trigger two different readings, but it will be argued that, for pragmatic reasons (Levinson 2000), the preferential reading is still the consequential one.
本研究的目的是对欧洲当代葡萄牙语中的结果式结构进行综合描述，并将其句法、语义和语用行为联系起来。本文认为，由连接词consequentemente、de forma que、dai (que)、de modo que、por isso、assim引入的语段可以用一个补充词来分析(Huddleston & Pullum 2002)，它在句法上与锚点不相结合，但在语义上与锚点相关。从语义上讲，结果结构可以由包含状语从句的因果结构来解释。但是，与因果结构不同，结果结构将两个不同的言语行为联系起来。对间接连接语的抑制可能会引发两种不同的阅读，但出于语用的原因(Levinson 2000)，优先阅读仍然是间接阅读。

This paper follows up on some of the phonetic assumptions underlying earlier discussions in the phonological literature of the vowel reduction in Brazilian Portuguese such as Crosswhite (2004) and Flemming (2004), among others. We investigated various reflexes of prosodic prominence across four positions: tonic, pretonic, posttonic, and word-final. The height of the low vowel /a/ in these contexts was also determined. We found that while duration readily distinguished among the first three positions (tonic > pretonic > posttonic), it failed to differentiate posttonic from final. Intensity was a better discriminator across all four positions. We also documented a height harmony between pretonic mid vowels and the following tonic resulting in a seven-vowel pretonic inventory that parallels the tonic*. The implications of these findings for metrical prominence and dispersion accounts of vowel reduction are considered.

The present volume contains a selection of twelve peer-reviewed papers presented at Going Romance in 2011. Celebrating its 25 th edition, the conference took place on December 8-10, in Utrecht, Holland, where the event was first held in 1986. While keeping the focus on the formal study of the Romance languages, the articles represent a wide range of topics related to different research areas, such as phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and language acquisition. The papers are arranged in alphabetical order by author.

This paper analyzes the grammaticalization of modal verbs in Brazilian Portuguese from a synchronic perspective. It takes as its point of departure the hypothesis that grammaticalization is a process in which linguistic elements widen their scope. Since this process is gradual and involves one step at a time, the synchronic correlate of this hypothesis is that if a modal verb has multiple meanings, these meanings should be of contiguous scope types on the grammaticalization scale in their synchronic distribution. The corpus data on which the paper is based show that this prediction is fully confirmed.

This volume, the first to be published in John Benjamins’ new series Issues in Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics , contains 17 original contributions, in addition to an introduction by the editors. What makes this volume unique within the extensive existing scholarship on Spanish and Portuguese linguistics is that all chapters are concerned with both languages in some way, be it in contrast or in contact.

This study focuses on the analysis of linguistic and extralinguistic factors influencing the phonological variation of vowel nasalization in the speech of bilingual speakers of Uruguayan Portuguese (UP). The setting is the city of Rivera located along the Uruguayan-Brazilian borderline. The data were collected in participant-observation and sociolinguistic interviews with fifty-four local UP speakers. Data results show that vowel nasalization is a linguistic variable constrained mainly by morphophonological and sociophonetic factors. Phonological processes interact with affixation in inflectional and derivational morphology in the process of vowel nasalization. Results show that functional category of the word and preceding phonological environment play a significant role in the distribution of nasal variation in contemporary UP in Rivera.

This paper deals with the diversity of temporal and spatial phrases – mainly those headed by prepositions or preposition-like connectives – that convey locating information or involve mere temporal/spatial reference. It shows that the different subclasses are quite heterogene ous in Portuguese, and exhibit interesting, syntactically complex, patterns. A certain degree of instability in their use, likely indicative of linguistic change (mainly in Standard European Portuguese), is illustrated through the use of corpora examples. English data is often used for comparison. The formal framework underlying the linguistic analyses is Discourse Representation Theory (cf. Kamp & Reyle 1993).
本文讨论了时空短语的多样性，主要是那些以介词或类介词连接词为主语的表达定位信息或仅涉及时空参考的时态和空间短语。它表明，葡萄牙语中不同的子类是相当异质的，并且表现出有趣的、语法复杂的模式。它们的使用有一定程度的不稳定性，可能表明语言的变化(主要是在标准欧洲葡萄牙语中)，通过使用语料库例子来说明。英语数据常用于比较。语言分析的形式框架是话语表征理论(cf. Kamp & Reyle 1993)。
